Amber Rocks 2021

November 11, 2021 / no comments

On November 2nd 2021 in London the Amber Rocks charity fundraiser returned to The Bloomsbury Ballroom raising vital funds for The Amber Foundation.

Guido designed and created a unique piece for the fundraiser. The piece was “Tranquillity, in a Dreambeat” and has been 2 years in the design process. The sculpture included diamonds, amethyst, crystals amongst other precious elements and is a beautiful centre piece and reflects the light in a breathtakingly way. 

Charlie Ross the Auctioneer said it was “Guido’s best work yet” it raised £20,000 for the charity. The winning bidder will display it in one of their London hotel’s so others will get to appreciate the beauty of it.

In addition Guido created unique drum centre table pieces which were sold at the end of the evening raising even more for The Amber Foundation.

Stephen Ballantyne, Head of Fundraising  & Communications for The Amber Foundation said “Guido has been hugely supportive of Amber’s work over the years, giving his time, skills and most importantly his passion. We are hugely grateful for everything that he does for us. The funds raised through the donation of his most recent sculpture will go straight to helping homeless young people get back on their feet and move on positively with their lives.”

The Amber Foundation has delivered something very special, helping young people transform their lives for 26 years. It has helped over 4,000 young people turn things around. Giving them time, space and support they need to overcome personal barriers; to learn new skills and behaviours and really move forward with their lives.

This elite and water shungite panther with platinum and emerald eyes, symbolises courage, valour and power and is a fierce guardian.

The panther is the symbol of the mother, the dark moon and the power of the night. This animal encourages us to understand the power within the shadows and to acknowledge these powers to help eliminate our fear of the dark and unknown.

Panther helps us to release our passions, lie our dreams, discover our desires and begin a new chapter of our lives. He welcomes us to expand our awareness, eliminate fears and become a whole new person guided and protected.

Said to be around 2 billion years old, Shungite is very powerful, ancient healing stone that detoxifies your body by absorbing and eliminating any negative or health hazardous energies. Elite shungite also called silver shungite, contains 98% of organic carbon, making it the most beneficial and rarest forms of this mineral.Elite Shungite is beneficial for EMF protection, purification of the body.

With emerald eyes that open and nurture the heart. Its soothing energy provides healing to all levels of the being, bringing freshness and vitality to the spirit. A stone of inspiration and infinite patience, it embodies unity, compassion and unconditional love.

This sculpture will be sold to raise funds for Amber Foundation at the Amber Rocks Gig that takes place on Wednesday 19th September 2018, in London.

Horse Power

Horse Power

In 2016 It was the Ferrari coming out of the tunnel with his left wheel crumpled sparks flying that inspired me to walk the tunnel after the race to see where he had clipped the wall, this was moment I first became aware of the melted tyre marbles which I perceived as a thing of wonder and started collecting.

We were lucky enough to return for the 2017 Monaco GP where to my delight Ferrari won, the team’s first one-two since Hockenheim in 2010. Monaco was also the venue that the team made their debut into formula 1, in the second round of the 1950 season.

Inspired by this we began our 11 month journey of creating two black stallions with the tyre snots reflecting the dynamics of the team, the drivers, the place, the race and the engines measured in horse power that gives the cars their speed which creates the friction with the circuits surface that melts the tyres.

If you look closely there are even stones from the roads encapsulated into the rubber.
