Since high school, Burlat has been into arts and has started sketching, but it was not until he reached college when he decided to focus on doing something more eye-catching and eye-popping —3D art.

“I see some of the drawings of my idol. An Italian 3D artist, Marcello Barenghi, (who) inspired me. I was able to try some 3D drawings if I can do such a detailed drawing like him,” he said Burlat.

With the use of a sketching pad and some colored pens and pencils, Burlat can finish one art piece within four to five hours depending on the details that needed to be put in the artwork.

For about 10 years now, Burlat’s 3D art is not just helping him become a better artist day by day, but it has also helped him financially.

“I do sell my works if someone would be interested and do customized sketches as well,” he added.

For his 3D art, he charges for P3,000 for the minimum size of 10×15 inches.

Since he posted his works at the Kalma, Artist Tayo Facebook page, as of Saturday, June 20, it has already reached 26,000 shares with 20,000 reactions.
