Philippine artist Elito Circa has blood on his hands, literally – but only to create art with.
Born in a low-income household with little access to school supplies and art materials, Circa explored different mediums, including plums and tomatoes, but it was when he scraped himself as a young boy that his fascination with using blood began. Now, Circa goes to the town’s health clinic once every three months to have his blood extracted, usually in increments of 500 ml , which he stores in a cooler in his studio for future projects.
