Santos Rosewood

The Santos Rosewood tree (Machaerium spp.), native to Central and South America, is a tropical hardwood known for its stunning, richly colored wood. Despite its name, it is not a true rosewood but is highly valued for its durability, density, and beautiful grain patterns that range from reddish-brown to dark purples and blacks. Santos Rosewood trees contribute to the biodiversity of tropical forests, but overharvesting has raised concerns, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices to protect this valuable resource.

The Aegis, a term from Greek mythology, symbolizes protection, defense, and divine power. It has come to represent invulnerability, divine safeguarding, and the support of greater forces. Made from Santos Rosewood, this design is inspired by the concept of a shield or cloak - intended to embody supernatural strength and power.

My artwork is more than a visual experience; it’s a meditative journey.

Crafted from carefully selected wood species, each piece reveals the unique patterns of growth and time—its rings, grains, and knots tracing the rhythms of nature itself. Sacred geometry subtly overlays these patterns, bringing out the tree's character and aligning its design with universal patterns.

Embedded magnets harmonize the surrounding energy, grounding the viewer and inviting calm, while soft sounds resonate through the wood, creating an immersive field that quiets the mind and elevates awareness. Together, the wood, magnetism, and sound create a space for introspection and peace, turning the artwork into a vessel for harmony, grounding, and higher consciousness. This is not merely art for the eyes but a sanctuary for the soul, where nature and universal energies converge to bring tranquility and depth to any space.
