Story behind
After graduating from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in London, Ward was immersed in the microscopic beauty of crystals—their refined lines, angles, and geometry. However, when the silence of lockdown set in, he felt the need to create with his hands, to translate his acquired knowledge into something tangible and personal.
During this period of introspection, his first wall artwork took shape. Inspired by the linear patterns of crystalline structures—horizontal and vertical, precise yet organic—Ward began exploring the connection between the order found in nature and the creative impulse of human craftsmanship.
These artworks do not stand alone but are part of a broader dialogue with his sculptures. Each wall piece serves as a window into the three-dimensional forms he creates.
Wall art Editions
Wall Art Editions are a harmonious fusion of design and natural art, created to bring the beauty of crystal structures into any space. Each piece is closely linked to a specific crystal or mineral type, reflecting the essence and energy of these natural formations.
Inspired by the layered geometries found in crystal growth, these wall pieces embody the precision and elegance of nature’s architecture. Color, texture, and material selection vary by edition and are carefully chosen to resonate with the unique character and properties of the associated crystal or mineral.
These artworks are more than decorative elements; they represent an expression of nature’s complexity, transformed into striking designs for modern interiors. Each piece invites a deeper connection with the beauty of the natural world, celebrating the fusion of art, geometry, and design.
The process
Each piece is handmade and built up in layers, ensuring that no two are ever identical. These layers form unique patterns that interact with light in their own distinctive way, creating a dynamic visual effect that shifts with the viewer’s perspective.
Once the formation is complete, the final finishing layers are carefully applied, tailored to each specific edition. These finishes—whether through texture, color, or material—enhance the depth and character of the piece, reinforcing its connection to the crystal or mineral that inspired it.
The result is a one-of-a-kind artwork that captures both the precision of craftsmanship and the organic beauty of natural formations.
