For graphic artist, Dom Ochotorena, rubber-cutting is
calming and is a great past time. He learned the art of rubber-cutting during
college as one of his projects. While getting caught up in the corporate world,
Dom put the hobby to rest. But later on in 2013, he got a new carving set and
he hasn’t stopped carving since then. His Speedball lino cutter, X-acto knife
and rubber blocks are his partners-in-crime. Whatever he can sketch, he will
etch in great detail. The outcomes vary from big to small stamps, with
different themes such as animals, people, things, places and more. Some of his notable works are carvings of the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
the Big Ben, a Mona Lisa and even Pope Francis. Dom is an inspiring example of
following one’s craft. He is a member of an art organization, Ang InK (Ilustrador ng Kabataan). Check out Ang InK’s exhibit open for the whole month of June in Prism Gallery Makati to see his work along with other artists. You can also visit his Instagram account for more of
his works, @domochotorena. You could commission him for special art works and
even learn the craft through his workshops.
