To inquire about this piece, contact Araujo

The Meeting unites two opposite styles of buildings, one influenced by the classical arch with columns atop a checkered floor while juxtaposing a futuristic building, a spaceship influence.

The origin of checkered floor designs traces back through the ages, encompassing symbolism, style and beauty, masonic references, and more. "The Mosaic Pavement", also known by the masons as the "checkered floor", is a representation of the ground floor of King Solomon's temple, and is emblematical of human life, checkered with good and evil. In The Meeting, the checkered floor is in mint green with dark blue-purple squares, presenting a new life formation, versus the traditional black and white colors.

The great inventions of the arch and columns continues to enrich architecture: strength and support of buildings globally, added by the high level of craftmanship by its inventors and followers, thus transcending a space into an elegant icon and beauty...a tribute to the Greeks and Romans! Both constructions, the spaceship and the arch atop the checkered floor, wish to merge and cultivate more wisdom together, while surrounded by a bright sunrise.
