Using his own wax mixture and cast technique, Arje Griegst traces energetic, ribbed lines in 18 carat gold spirals, like locks of golden hair. The gold quivers and comes alive.

 Like a distant asteroid luring you in with a raw ruby-filled crater, the Cosmos ring is sculpted in gold using Arje Griegst cire perdue technique. While the surface echoes a meteor-dimpled rock, the inside of the ring is smooth against the skin. 

The articulated Waves series from the second half of the nineties showcases Arje Griegst’s ongoing fascination with depicting the natural world – but not as we know it.

Faces appear throughout Arje Griegst’s work as part of his self-styled fables. Finely detailed in cire perdue, pieced together from the mysticism of precious stones or cast as miniature busts, they explore his fascination with metamorphosis in Greek and Roman mythology.
