Art objects from AMAROT
art follows nature
Art from AMAROT
“art follows nature” is the motto of AMAROT. The works of art from my workshop are inspired by the natural shapes of the stones and woods used. I use precious materials to set accents.

AMAROT Materials
For my works I use natural stones, minerals, petrified stones, gemstones, archaeologic artefacts, shells, antlers, eggs, nuts, different timbers, wool and felt, bones, gold, silver, leaf gold, leaf silver and leaf copper, pearls and colour.
The AMAROT's Philosophy
Art provides sensible evidence of inexhaustible and limitless abundance of human awareness. The creative process demands from the artist to embrace the area of concept freedom: S/he’s like a white, sheer, empty canvas where absolutely all can be shown.
I’m understanding art in that manner Thomas Hoover described it in his book “Zen Culture”: The viewer is led away by the artwork from analysis, interpretation and categorisation. He immerges in the stream of enthusiasm and lust for life. In front of a felicitous artwork the viewer loses the sense of ME and IT.
