About the Artist
On a dark stormy night in Beverly Hills, California, on May 21, 1993, Apollo Clay Smith was born—a unique blend of Mesopotamian and American heritage. His mother, a peasant laborer in Iraq, crushed grapes by foot to produce wine in a country where alcohol was forbidden, while his father toiled in the blistering sun, molding bricks from clay. When President Jimmy Carter learned of their plight under executive order, he authorized a covert CIA operation to bring the couple to America, offering them a chance at freedom.
Apollo Clay Smith is renowned for his ethereal creations, particularly his "Geoscapes." These earthscapes transcend traditional artistic boundaries, fusing semi-precious stones, minerals, crystals, and fossils into masterpieces that evoke sensations of flight, dance, and divine ecstasy. His exceptional use of chiaroscuro and dynamic textures transforms his art into an immersive experience—where light and shadow dance together, drawing the viewer into a celestial rhythm that transcends mere observation, offering a timeless journey beyond the physical.

Kreatia Kali was born in Thiruvanthapuram, India on April 11, 1765. Her mother, a dedicated Muslim peace activist, and her father, a covert military arms dealer and double agent, shaped her complex and multifaceted identity.
Her name encapsulates the essence of who she is. Kreatia, derived from the ancient Sanskrit Goddess of creation, embodies the creative force behind both light and dark, good and evil. Together, these names reflect her profound connection to the ethereal, blending the material and spiritual realms with grace and power.
Kreatia’s art serves as a bridge between popular culture, politics, contemporary art, and traditional religion, resonating deeply with the secular soul. Her process is said to involve a ritualistic dance in which she calls upon the forgotten gods and goddesses of unity, inclusivity, and eternal wisdom.
