The mosaic

MOSAIC ART: Mosaic art is an artform consisting of inlaid geometric, decorative, figurative, abstract, and traditional pieces of varying materials into a unique one-of-a-kind art creation. Its compositional nature makes it suitable for many design applications. Born in ancient times and originally used with functional rather than aesthetic intent, mosaic art is among the most tested techniques in our workshop. As in a portrait, mosaic art can tell a detailed story making its dramatic representations for the decoration of architectural or design elements suitable for any project at any level of complexity.
