When Resin Art Meets Maldives’ Incredible Beauty…

Wednesday 30th of December 2020

Around the world, one form of art that grew popular during the crisis was resin art. Even in the Maldives, the number of self-taught resin artists increased by a significant number and it has become a common artwork. We see people break all limits of creativity and amaze us with some wonderful pieces, but when it’s inspired by the endless beauty of Maldives, magic happens.

Resin Epoxy art is created by mixing resin and a hardener which gradually solidifies the liquid resin into a high-gloss, clear surface. Colour pigments and other additives are added to the resin. From jewellery to tables to pictures, there’s no limit to what can create. Although this trend comes from the USA, Australia and Canada, many other countries also hopped into it, most likely because resin works can be a good selling product.

When the Maldives went into lockdown, a vast majority of people’s income was affected. As a result, the creative crowd got the motivation and determination to earn an income through their passion, either as main employment or as a side hustle. This led to the creation of many online art sellers, especially resin artists who sell customized resin artwork. But even among these resin works, what stood out the most were the ones that showed how beautiful the Maldives is.

You’ll find the most Instagrammable resin works on mirrors, tropical keychains that will always remind you of the sun and waves, tables that bring in the cheerful touch to your room and necklaces that you’ll forever want to wear. Customized resin work makes the prettiest gifts and can be a wonderful souvenir as well.
