MONEY Vs WORKS OF ART

"The day when people can see and feel the difference between money and works of art, I will gain confidence in the future of our civilization”

The creation of a work of art demands minimum a talented artist. The creation, more than 2300 years ago, of the miniature art / sculptures in miniature depicted in Apollo to Apollo, demanded the collaboration between minimum four talented artists and hand craftsmen:

It is very unlikely that a single person possessed all the skills needed more than 2300 years ago. In addition, we have to remind ourselves that everything had to be done 100% by hand.

1. The art of creation: the creative process in the creation of a motif, a design in three dimensions.
2. The art of engraving in three dimensions and translating an idea into a die which can strike the medium.
3. The art of creating the medium: the quality of the metal, the thickness, the size, the weight.
4. The art of striking: the temperature of the metal, the angle, the speed of striking and so on.

TODAY WE CANNOT CREATE ANYTHING SIMILAR!

The mind-blowing and mysterious life of an art form more than 2300 years ago

The hunt for the divine and eternal beauty

"The book can easily be enjoyed for the art alone since almost every piece included is a true masterpiece of the immortal art form that was ancient art. I do however urge the readers to return to its pages frequently and open their heart to the profound messages from the past that are so vital to our collective future."
