MOSAICS

In 2019, I embarked on a journey into the realm of mosaic creation. Drawn to its intricate nature and inspired by a deep-rooted fascination, I dove head first into the world of ceramic mosaics with a desire to innovate and elevate my artistic expression.

Fuelled by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I immersed myself in extensive research, eagerly absorbing the techniques and traditions that define this timeless art form. With each fragment meticulously placed, I honed my skills, pushing the boundaries of my creativity and mastering the delicate balance between precision and passion.

Yet, beyond the realm of technique lay a profound connection to my own heritage. As a proud descendant of Greek culture, the art of mosaics held a special resonance for me. From the sacred halls of ancient churches to the sun-kissed landscapes of Greece, mosaic artistry has long been woven into the fabric of my identity. It was a natural progression, a homage to my roots, as I breathed new life into this ancient craft.

Through my mosaic creations, I invite you to rediscover an ancient craft that has been given a new life with a modern touch – a celebration of tradition, innovation, and the timeless beauty of artistic expression. Each piece bears the imprint of my passion, a testament to the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped my artistic vision. In my mosaic journey, I sought to blend the time-honored techniques of mosaic-making with contemporary innovation. While immersing myself in the traditional methods, I also experimented with ways to infuse modern elements into my work. For instance, I explored using unconventional shapes and arrangements, departing from the strict geometries often associated with classical mosaic patterns. 

Additionally, I incorporated bold color palettes and dynamic compositions inspired by the energy of contemporary design trends. By embracing these modern twists, I aimed to breathe new life into the ancient craft of mosaic-making, making it feel fresh and relevant in today's artistic landscape. It's about striking a balance between honouring tradition and embracing innovation, creating pieces that resonate with both the past and the present.
