OUR ARTISTS: Riccardo Fulceri: born in Piombino, Italy, son of an artist, Riccardo spent many hours watching his father creating many works of highly-praised art in buildings and homes around the world. Studying the various grades of stone, paintings, and sculptures, Riccardo learned from his father and further developed his own technique and passion for stone. He is currently a well-recognized artist with numerous projects and exhibitions in many cities around the world. His commissioned works include stone artwork for the residences of the Prince and Princess of Saudi Arabia in Switzerland and France, the Sacral Art Exhibition for Pope John Paul II in Krakow, Poland, the Miami Art Museum, restaurant Visione di Roma in New York, and restaurant Mario in London. In addition he was commissioned for sculptural painting in Versailles in Paris and in the Castle of Angeli in Bergamo, Italy, and many other projects. Silvia Fulceri: Riccardo s daughter, Silvia, followed her father s footsteps sharing his passion for stone and went to the School of Art in Florence where she further developed her skills. Together they created Art Carrara, a line of sculptural paintings and stone carvings, pieces that embody ancient tradition and contemporary imagination.

3 Mediterranean 3 Women Collection 3D Bas-relief technique is a method of sculpting which entails carving away the surface of a flat piece of stone. The word is derived from the Italian basso rilievo, the literal translation meaning low contrast. The portrayed image is raised above the background flat surface. The natural contour of the figures allows the work to be viewed from many different angles without distortion. The sculpture figures float out from the background. The sophisticated, warm, and feminine Elisa is an introduction to a series of Mediterranean sculptural paintings created on 2 thick Noisette Marble using 3D Bas-relief technique. 3D Bas-Relief Beatrice And betaking me to the loneliness of mine own room, I fell to thinking of this most courteous lady, thinking of whom I was overtaken by a pleasant slumber, wherein a marvelous vision was presented to me: for there appeared to be in my room a mist of the color of fire Dante Irene Elisa Romana The romance and beauty of the Mediterranean women is glorified in our 3D bas-relief sculptures of Elisa, Romana, Irene, and Beatrice.

4 Ancient Bath Collection Modulcarving is an exclusive technique invented by our Artist Riccardo Fulceri where pieces of natural stone are shaped by controlled removal of stone. Our unique designs are made on genuine Italian Marble by removing the polished material and creating contrast between the polished and rough surface. Owing to the permanence of stone, there is much evidence that even the earliest societies indulged in some form of stone work. Our designs were inspired by the stone masterpieces of ancient Italy and Greece, places where the history of great civilization began and where many pieces of great stone art were created.
