Lithica

444 Tokens

Lithica is a tribute to the oldest artworks on Earth — minerals shaped by time, pressure, and patient cosmic processes.

It is a collection of illuminated still lifes where crystals become poetry, stone becomes sculpture, and light becomes the language through which matter speaks. Each artwork in Lithica treats minerals not as decoration, but as subjects worthy of reverence — geological archives rendered with the care of museum specimens and the beauty of fine art.

Stones as Memory Keepers

Crystals are archives of the planet.
Every line of quartz, every band of agate, every shimmer in mica is a record of heat and pressure written over millions of years.
Lithica celebrates these geological poems through art that blends elegance with reverence.

Matter Becoming Meaning

Humans have always given stones meaning — talismans, altars, amulets, jewellery, sacred objects. Lithica continues this lineage, transforming minerals into illuminated still lifes that feel contemplative, spiritual and quietly empowering.

The aesthetic is intentionally feminine: soft bloom lighting, graceful compositions, pearlescent hues, polished geometry and gentle gradients that echo makeup palettes, silk surfaces and luxury editorial photography.

Light Through the Ancient

Crystals are conduits of light.
Lithica uses that to full effect: beam-lit edges, translucent interiors, refracted glow, subtle iridescence, moon-washed silhouettes.
The artworks feel like photographs from a mineral museum in a dream.

A Collection of Quiet Power

These stones do not shout.
They hum.

The collection prizes subtlety, texture, glow and form — artworks designed for collectors who appreciate serenity, aesthetic precision, and the beauty of timeless materials.

Trace

Trace #61
Trace #78
Trace #52
Trace #93

Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.

Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.

Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.

Chairs

Chairs #44
Chairs #87
Chairs #28
Chairs #97

Chairs is a study in sculptural absurdity: a museum-grade exploration of chairs that push beyond functional design into expressive, impractical, and architecturally playful form.

Each work is a hyper‑photorealistic portrait of a chair behaving more like a sculpture: a seat that bends too far, loops into itself, contradicts its own engineering, or performs gestures no practical furniture would ever attempt.

The result is a collection where fine‑art photography meets conceptual design, blurring the boundary between object, artwork, and architectural experiment.
