‘Antico’ is derived from the word for ancient in Italian. It represents our inspiration from classical cultures as well as paying homage to the modern-day land of Ancient Rome.
‘Contempo,’ is short for contemporary, Each sculpture we create is called a contempo. They are inspired by authentic, historically significant artworks, ranging from 4000 B.C. to 2025 A.D. These masterpieces are then reimagined for contemporary life.
Our 3 mediums include contempos, hand-cut natural stone mosaics, and framed prints. These tangible and accessible creations encapsulate our holistic approach to art.
