The Story

CAMO is a one-of-a-kind piece from the POP series. Camouflage is a design meant to conceal, and yet a powerful pattern in its own right. Taking the hard, lacquered shell as a single pop canvas, overlapping mottles are painted across the back of one of the longest-growing beetles on earth — hidden, and yet unmistakably present. That doubleness is raised through layers of colour.

To hide is not to vanish. Quietly, but surely, it is there. The beauty of strength concealed is held in a beetle that has lived out its full span — powerful without raising its voice. May such a bearing dwell with the one who keeps it.

We never kill for art. We use only beetles that were farm-raised and lived out their natural span. Honoured, they are given a second life as art — carrying the culture of Hercules to the next generation.


Import duties & taxes (please read before ordering).

Prices and shipping do not include import VAT, customs duties, or clearance fees charged by your destination country. As the importer, you are responsible for these charges, which your carrier or customs office will collect before delivery.
For fine-art pieces, most countries charge little or no customs duty (for specimen-based decorative art this is not yet settled) but do apply import VAT (e.g. UK 5%, France 5.5%, Italy 5%, Germany 7%). We will send you an estimated landed cost for your country before we ship — your order proceeds only after you confirm. Refusing delivery does not waive these charges. Questions? Contact us before purchasing.
