"The Mystery Onyx Sphere"

If you need a small dash of jet black art sculpture that acts like a magnet to people, this is it! I have had so many people pick up this sphere and ask, ?What is this?? It definitely leads to a conversation of the nature of this piece. Don?t know why, but people will want to always handle it and study it. They can?t seem to not want to discover its mystery.

"Black and Mysterious"

It is almost perfectly black save for a whisper of lighter veining. You can lose yourself in its depths. Stunning.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

"I learned to carve stone from a friend. In turn, I have taught my son and many of my workers the art of stone carving. When one of my artisans leaves to start a workshop of their own, I feel great pride. It means that the stone art of Peru will live on. Stone carving records the history of Peru and the Andes. Even though we now use machinery to bring our hand drawings to life... the stories the stones tell and the motifs we incorporate have been with us since pre-Inca times."
