Epoxy resin art is a modern art form using a two-part liquid epoxy resin (resin and hardener) that hardens into a durable, glossy, plastic-like solid. Artists mix the resin with pigments, inks, or other additives to create colorful, flowing designs, or pour it over existing artwork to add a high-gloss protective finish. This versatile medium can be used to create abstract paintings, coasters, jewelry, and molded objects, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with endless creative possibilities.
You can see below the art I have created with this material.

Epoxy Resin Description
Epoxy resin is a versatile, high-performance thermosetting polymer formed by mixing a resin with a hardener, which initiates a chemical reaction to create a strong, durable, cross-linked network. Known for its superior adhesive strength, excellent chemical and heat resistance, low shrinkage, and good electrical properties, it bonds well to a variety of materials including metal, glass, and plastics. Epoxy resins are used in many industries, from construction and automotive to electronics and dentistry, and of course art. They can be formulated to be flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, and to cure under heat or at room temperature.
