The artist Horacio A. Ramirez- Achinelli has since a very early age been devoted to fine arts, painting and sculpture. He was specially attracted by the enchantment of the precious stones, of which he finally successfully came to extract from them the best structures. For fully 30 years he has been devoted to study them, from the search in the terrain until its elaboration. His major field, has been the rodocrosite, which is founded as a precious stone only in Argentina.

His works travels all around the world, and in them we can appreciate the excellent quality in classic and modern design. These are uniquepieces, where it has been of great importance for this artist to follow the lines and nature of each material.
The European culture is present in Argentina, as though the Argentinean can be exhibited in Europe. This is the cultural spirit of the dialogue that is present on this sample that is inaugurated in Stockholm.
