Ramon Todo, an artist born in Tokyo, crafts a seamless fusion of history and modernity with his striking stone and glass sculptures. His works are a testament to the beauty of juxtaposition, embedding objects like books, stones, volcanic rock, and even fragments of the Berlin Wall with sleek, polished glass. The result is an elegant play of light and texture that brings an unexpected sophistication to the natural ruggedness of the materials.
Todo’s artistry lies in his ability to redefine surfaces, creating sculptures that are both rough and sparkling. His Stone Series is particularly compelling, featuring unique rocks from historical sites bisected with strips of glass. Each piece tells a different story about time and place, inviting viewers to contemplate the layers of meaning within.
