In the early 1990s Arje Griegst returned to his lifelong fascination of the universe and created the Cosmos and Stardust series. Each work looks as if the gold has been bombarded by showers of meteorites or distant asteroids, luring us with craters filled with precious stones and gems.

Arje Griegst used to note how “the stones talk to me”, something that can be felt in the almost primordial divinity of the Cosmos and Stardust series. Stones and gold twinkle like stars in the firmament, born from Griegst’s fascination with the groundbreaking Hubble telescope images from the 1990s and the ongoing lure of a universe in constant evolution.
When Arje used stones they often got to keep their original crude state, like meteorites from outer space.
From all the crowds and diversity there is here on Earth, Arje turned in the 1990s his gaze towards the endless celestial sky. He and his wife Irene read everything they could find about outer space, they discussed new scientific discoveries and allowed their eyes to be opened with fascinated awe to all the fantastic pictures.

The stones brood in the mass of light, just like they do in Nature. Nothing is permanent, all is fluid.
