00:00We have a new artwork that you should share today.

00:03And this is wire art.

00:06It's a type of visual art that uses pieces of wire

00:10to create different shapes and designs.

00:14And when it comes to this type of artwork,

00:16John Infante is an expert in wire art.

00:19We have him live here in the studio.

00:21Good morning.

00:22Good morning.

00:23Welcome here in Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:26How did you start with wire art?

00:29How did you come up with the idea of making sculptures out of wire?

00:34When I was young, I used to make art using other materials

00:38like clay, paper, and other stuff.

00:42But I noticed that it always broke.

00:45So I wanted to do an experiment so that it wouldn't break.

00:50And I discovered that wire and aluminum are very durable.

00:54So that's what I used.

00:56When I was young, I used to sell wire to a junk shop.

01:01It has a price, right?

01:03Yes.

01:04Let's show John's artwork again.

01:08It's amazing.

01:09Yes, it's amazing.

01:10What materials did you use?

01:12And what tools did you use to make it?

01:17That is made out of aluminum.

01:20And I used a cutter for cutting.

01:25Most of the time, I used my hands.

01:28That's amazing.

01:29It's hard because you have to cut it properly.

01:32How long did it take you to make one?

01:35I mean, the regular size, for instance.

01:37The regular size, like this one, took me around 1-2 weeks.

01:43If I'm not sleeping, it's like that.

01:46Why?

01:47So that's the coping mechanism?

01:49Yes.

01:50What kind of design session do you do?

01:53Right now, I'm finishing my Filipino theme sculptures.

01:58Filipino theme?

01:59Yes.

02:00It's like what's on our monitor right now.

02:02That's amazing.

02:03But this is small.

02:04Can this fit your lifestyle?

02:06Yes.

02:07It can fit any size.

02:09Let's try to make it as big as the one in Pasi.

02:12Can it be that big?

02:14Do you have a favorite artwork that you've made?

02:18And why is that your favorite?

02:22My favorite is the one by Michelle D.

02:28You made it?

02:30Yes.

02:31What is it?

02:32It is the evening gown of Michelle D.

02:34Designed by Mark Baumgarner.

02:37I was inspired by her clothes.

02:40When I saw it for the first time, I was like, wow, it's beautiful.

02:44And then, it matches the Filipino theme that I'm making.

02:48So, why not?

02:49Let's try to make that.

02:51Okay.

02:52How much does it cost to make this kind of artwork?

02:55And where do you usually get your artwork?

03:01My artwork is all over the Philippines.

03:05Wow.

03:06Yeah.

03:07Usually, there's a price.

03:08How much is it?

03:09The price depends on the size and the type.

03:11Maybe, this size is around 20,000 and above.

03:17Okay.

03:18Are there people who ask you for commission?

03:20Yes.

03:21For example, I want to make a design for you.

03:23I can do that.

03:24Then, I'll contact you.

03:25You can do that.

03:26For how many weeks, for example?

03:27It depends on the size.

03:28Maybe, two weeks.

03:29I can do that.

03:30That's great.

03:31It's art lambre.

03:32Looking forward or moving forward, aside from lambre, what else do you want to explore?

03:40As a hobby or...

03:43I want to try resin and wood one day.

03:47Okay.

03:48I also want to open a furniture shop.

03:51It's like a combination of art and furniture.

03:54That's great.

03:55I want to enter the architecture side.

03:57Yes.

03:58Since you were a kid, you wanted to be good at artwork.

04:02Now, you want to open a furniture shop.

04:05But you're an architect.

04:06I'm an archigraduate.

04:08Archigraduate.

04:09Okay.

04:10Where can our viewers find your artworks and sculptures?

04:17Where can they go?

04:18You can go to my social media accounts like joffie.ph, IGN, and Facebook page.

04:29You said earlier that the others are in the gallery.

04:32Yes.

04:33Where are the galleries?

04:34I have one in Tagaytay, Montinlupa, and coming soon in Cubao.

04:40Nice.

04:41Nice.

04:42This is very inspiring.

04:45From simple art that you wanted to do when you were a kid,

04:48and it became different on a macro level.

04:51What advice can you give to beginners in wire art?

04:56Of course, a lot of people want to try this.

05:00First of all, they should be prepared for wire art because it's very hard.

05:06Sometimes, they think it's easy.

05:09It's not just hard, but it's also painful.

05:11So, if you want to try it, use gloves first so you won't get injured.

05:19Hopefully, his artworks will be recognized internationally.

05:23Internationally.

05:24Yes.

05:25Because it's beautiful.

05:26If we can see his artworks, especially his designs, it has a Filipino culture.

05:32Yes.

05:33There.

05:34You can see it.

05:35It's amazing.

05:36Imagine how he maintains it.

05:38What's that?

05:39Once a person moves it, the curtain will break.

05:44How does he build it?

05:45Is it very fixed?

05:47It's in the middle.

05:50It's flexible.

05:52It's also sturdy.

05:53What's good about it is that if it breaks or falls,

05:56there's a little damage.

05:59You can fix it again before going back to the original.

06:02You can also use it in painting and make it 3D.

06:05Yes.

06:06You've done that before.

06:07Once.

06:08Once.

06:09Are there many artists like you who do this in the Philippines?

06:15Yes.

06:16There are so many talented artists here in the Philippines who make war sculptures.

06:22Okay, RSP.

06:23Let's support these kinds of artworks.

06:26Thank you for sharing your art.

06:28Our story is with John Infante.

06:30Thank you, John.
