Andrea Arice’s Pouring Stones series reshapes expectations of material and movement. In these digital compositions, stone flows like water, resisting the constraints of its natural state. Smooth surfaces swirl with rich veins of color, creating pieces that feel both ancient and futuristic. Through this unexpected synthesis, Arice imagines a world where opposites don’t clash — they converge. Solid matter behaves as if it were liquid, and hardness gives way to fluid grace. It’s a visual meditation on the tension between form and flux.
Based in Toronto, Arice is no newcomer to digital innovation. With a career that includes collaborations with brands like Google and Nike, his creative direction has left a mark on both commercial and experimental projects. Yet Pouring Stones stands apart — it reflects a more personal exploration, free from external briefs or branding. The work feels internal, almost elemental, as if Arice were tapping into a subconscious language of color and shape. The textural contrasts within each piece evoke tactile memory, even in the absence of touch.
Over the past six years, Arice has led CGI teams at top Canadian studios, refining a mastery of form, depth, and digital realism. That expertise is evident here — not in flashy effects, but in restraint. The pieces feel deliberate, sculpted by intuition rather than ruled by code. Pouring Stones doesn’t simply show what digital tools can achieve; it lingers on what they can feel like when emotion drives execution. It’s abstract work, but it pulses with something very grounded: the energy of materials in transformation.
