This miniature pangolin by Jorge Vazquez is a tiny marvel of craftsmanship. Even though it fits in the palm of your hand, it involves days of meticulous work, from the delicate carving to the final brushstroke. The little body is shaped with a graceful curve and slender legs, giving the pangolin a gentle, inquisitive posture.
Jorge then turns it into a jewel: every scale is outlined in bright lime green and filled with its own geometric pattern, grecas, cross-stitch motifs, woven designs, and tiny dots, so precise that it’s hard to believe they were painted by hand on such a small surface. The colors are joyful and rich: magentas, oranges, blues, and greens that shimmer like a mosaic. Up close, you can appreciate how clean each line is and how seamlessly all the patterns flow together; from a distance, it reads as a vibrant, living tapestry.
