My inspiration comes from nature. I toss a pebble into a pond and watch the ripples gently and pleasantly hypnotize me for hours. I pick up a shell and watch the spiral design travel into my eyes. I watch a child hold a flower innocently in her hands as she watches a butterfly dance in the garden. At these moments nature shares and reveals to us the secret of natural beauty. To me, art is like music, the musician understands key, melody, composition, etc. This enables him to create music rather than noise. Likewise, I have come to understand line, light, shape, color, texture, and the mystic harmony of their relationship in creating music for the eyes. I believe natural beauty is not just based on culture, intellect, or the conditions of life alone. Universal beauty does exist and you can find it in your smile.

Davinchi Cut Chi Galatea Huynh
When I was in high scholl siting in the library reading the notebooks of of Leonardo Da Vinci, I came across a quote I will always remember. He said, "Be a mirror, absorb everything around you and still remain the same." As an artist, I believe in and can relate to this philosophy, I learn as much as I can about the environment around me but still remain original, honest and true to my existence. Today, I have created a new cut for gemstones called the "Davinchi Cut" which has the ability to absorb colors, light or images into the gem. This magical illusion makes the gem change colors in different angles and points of view. There is a wonderful depth of field within the gem, I find it is difficult to fix my eyes on one focus point. This is why the stone has the sense of liveliness, a constant changing in color and texture. I hope you will enjoy this gem. Allow yourself to absorb all things around yet still reamain the way you are. The "Davinchi Cut" is also available in diamond which makes a white diamond change into red, yellow, green, blue or any color in the spectrum or a mixture of multiple colors without altering its natural composition.
