Abstract Mosaic Art

This magnificent mosaic and glass artwork is composed of a range of tesserae, some of which needed to be cut into shape and a few to be used as is. I chose this palette to use neutral colors, warm but not too hot, so as to convey a very calm and soothing mood during the day, a warm morning, or deeper themes like a thought process, that starts off simple and as it gains meaning, deeper colors and forms take shape. I love the outcome of subtle neutral tones and some dark tones but more light and mid tones playing through this whole circular shaped mosaic. It has been firmly set in cement thin-set on prepared 1 inch thermocol, then grouted and prepared ready to hang, with 3 holes for secure fixing. It is not as heavy as it looks, weighing approximately 7 kgs.

The painting takes on different, constantly moving tones, as light changes through the day from natural to indoor lighting. I got my inspiration while doing a course on the joy of receiving knowledge, in this case, Divine Knowledge: “O My servants! My holy, My divinely ordained Revelation may be likened unto an ocean in whose depths are concealed innumerable pearls of great price, of surpassing luster…” I love to keep trying new mediums, and currently Mosaic is the latest medium that I started several months ago, and I love the solid presence of each tile, the enduring nature of the medium, and the glistening luster of the work.
