ABOUT EXTREME JACK O' LANTERNS
Extreme pumpkin carving transforms the traditional jack-o’-lantern into an art form. Each piece begins with an original design, hand-illustrated directly onto the pumpkin, then carefully cut, etched and shaved at different depths to create incredible detail, dimension and texture — with dramatic effects when illuminated. This jaw-dropping artistry is making its Curaçao debut, thanks to Curaçao resident Altin Rizi — an award-winning fine artist, sculptor, master woodcarver and professional pumpkin carver. Here's a glimpse at his process:
AMAZING BY DAY & BY NIGHT
By day, you see every line, texture and carved detail.
At night, switch on the light and the carving glows.
DETAILS ONLY AN
ARTIST CAN ACHIEVE
A JACK-O'-LANTERN. AN ARTIST'S CANVAS.
Every Jack-o’-Lantern is hand-illustrated and hand-carved by Altin Rizi, an award-winning artist, sculptor... and professional pumpkin carver.
He is a lifelong visual artist and sculptor originally from Albania. He earned a Master’s in Plastic Arts in Paris, France, and his work has been exhibited around the world — from Japan, Italy and Greece to New York City. His extreme Jack-o’-Lanterns have been commissioned for Halloween shows across the U.S. and Canada, and he now brings that expertise to Curaçao.
