The exploration of the human body began with iron or tar cut-out shapes, later printed on paper, which evolved into three-dimensional ceramic sculptures, using raku firing or synthetic resins with marble powder. In this piece, the anthropomorphic form is absorbed by the bronze color created through double firing, evoking a fossilized image frozen in time. The technique combines double-fired ceramics with the raku process.

Sometimes beauty can be discovered, other times it must be created.
Obsydian Stone specializes in the processing of semi-precious stones to create precious architectural details, the original stones are inserted in furnishing or design projects creating a perfect combination with other materials and increasing their overall value.
The exclusive peculiarities of the stones make them real elements of interest that are harmoniously integrated into each piece, thus enhancing its uniqueness.
All the selected stones are considered as semiprecious and for this reason they are inserted in a category between precious stones and marbles. The stones extracted from the deposit are considerably smaller than marbles and they are as raw stones of variable dimensions. The hard stone inserts can be set on doors and vertical or horizontal supports of any kind. The manufacturing process allows the stones to be applied to any rigid base, be it wood, metal or stone based. Semi-precious stones can also be applied on masonry surfaces, creating design geometries and elegant combinations of different materials. They can also be used as inserts on knobs, handles, taps, push-button panels and switches, rods, cabochons or rounded surfaces. The ability to always have a harmonious finished product with a high level of finish is to be considered an advantage of artisans.
