Creation of ornamental mosaics

The mosaic is a decorative art par excellence

Little by little, you take the miniscule coloured fragments and makes them your own, allocating them their place in the picture.

But first they must be broken off, cut up, worked, arranged, placed, fixed...

You make a game of it, knowing that the final form will be entirely your own creation, your vision, your conception of lines and shapes and colours.

As he advances he comes across new challenges.

Each tessera, however small, represents a new decision.

A mosaic is the result of countless decisions which have been taken in the course of its creation.

The applications for mosaics are legion :

  In architecture, for example, in the
  spirit of Gaudi and Hundertwasser.
  For example: façades, swimming pools, columns,
  bathrooms, outdoor waymarking
  (for paths).
  Creation and decoration of objects
  For example: mirrors, pots, furniture
  Mosaic pictures inspired by great artists:
  Klimt, Picasso, Gauguin, Niki de Saint Phalle.
