Klaypel x Virrco: The Perfect Blend of Art and Wellness
On November 23, 2024, at the Klaypel Store in Ayala Mall, Manila Bay, a unique collaboration was unveiled between Klaypel, a Filipino innovator in recycled paper art, and Rommel Rico, the visionary artist behind Virrco. This partnership merges creativity, therapy, and Filipino craftsmanship into a giftable art experience perfect for all ages.
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
Rommel Rico, a licensed nurse, physical therapist, and international artist, shared his excitement about discovering Klaypel. With over 20 years of expertise in healthcare and art, Rommel was drawn to Klaypel’s potential as a tool for wellness.
“Klaypel is not just art; it’s therapy. It’s used in occupational and physical therapy to enhance fine motor skills and even in expressive therapy for mental health. This aligns perfectly with my goal of bridging my healthcare background with my artistry,” Rommel explained.
Klaypel: Art Meets Wellness
Klaypel, a proudly Filipino product, transforms recycled paper into vibrant, clay-like materials for creating textured artworks. Beyond its artistic appeal, it serves therapeutic purposes, making it an excellent gift for children, stroke patients, or anyone aiming to improve their hand dexterity or relieve anxiety.
Rommel’s latest contribution includes five line art pieces celebrating Filipina beauty, which are now part of Klaypel’s product offerings. Customers can enjoy a collaborative art experience by adding their own colors, making each piece unique and personal.
Accessible Creativity
Available in three sizes, Rommel’s Klaypel artworks are affordably priced:
- Small: ₱395
- Medium: ₱795
- Large: ₱1,395
Each kit includes a line art piece, recycled paper clay, and adhesive materials. The clay’s versatile texture allows for easy blending and mixing of colors, sparking endless creative possibilities.
