Pinoy Artist Flexes Small-Scale Sari-Sari Store Diorama
A Pinoy artist goes viral on social media after flexing his detailed small-scale diorama of a traditional Filipino sari-sari store.
Diorama art is a three-dimensional miniature representation of a scene, often designed to capture realistic details in a small-scale setting. Artists create dioramas using materials like wood, paper, clay, and plastic to craft lifelike environments, including buildings, landscapes, and everyday objects.
These artworks can portray historical events, cultural scenes, or imaginative worlds.
Dioramas are widely used in museums, schools, and hobby collections to showcase a moment in time or tell a story. Some artists specialize in highly detailed miniature dioramas that replicate real-life places, bringing nostalgia and creativity to their work.
Recently, Eduardo Tuazon Fabreo, a Facebook user, shared photos of his small-scale diorama of a traditional sari-sari store. The post quickly circulated online and garnered various reactions from the internet users.
The 57-year-old artist shared his creation in an online art group, where it gained admiration. A Filipino client living in Canada commissioned the diorama, wanting a display that would remind them of home and their childhood memories.
The artist carefully crafted every detail, ensuring that it captured the essence of a real sari-sari store, from tiny snack packs to the store’s wooden shelves.
Fabreo’s passion for making dioramas started in 2012. While working in the Middle East, he created a miniature version of a slum area, which went viral online. Since then, he has continued to refine his craft, creating lifelike miniatures emphasizing Filipino culture.
His works are now in demand, and he is open to commissions. Those interested in owning one of his creations can contact him through his Facebook account, Edon Tuazon Fabreo.
