Aqua Fossil Coffee Table II

Amarist Studio has been immersed in investigating the geological formation of the alabaster stone, its use throughout history and the process of extracting the mineral in the quarries near their studio.

The result is a collection that transport the viewer to a landscape of unknown nature, where each artwork seems to reveal the main element of the molecular composition of alabaster stone: water. In this way, Amarist Studio’s new Aqua Fossil series presents fluid organic compositions presenting alabaster stone as a liquid petrified element.

This collection of works reflects an analysis of the geological formation of the Iberian alabaster, a stone of sedimentary and metamorphic origin. This characteristic white stone with translucent properties is the result of the evaporation of an ancient sea in the Iberian Peninsula millions of years ago
