Mosaic Art

Mosaic art refers to decorating a surface with closely arranged, small fragments of materials like stone, minerals, glass, tiles, or shells.

A mosaic is a design or picture formed from small, regularly or irregularly shaped pieces of coloured stone, glass, or ceramic. These pieces are secured in place with plaster or mortar and cover a surface. Mosaics are commonly employed as decorative elements for floors and walls, with a rich history of popularity in the ancient Roman world.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.

A limited edition is a set number of similar or identical artworks. The size of the edition denotes the total number of artworks that will ever be made, underscoring their value.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. Our standard glazing offer is a minimum 90% UV acrylic plexiglass, or you can upgrade to an anti reflective Optium museum plexiglass.

Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.

Every artwork is signed or stamped, and individually numbered. You will also receive a stamped and numbered certificate of authenticity.

No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.

All the ins and outs can be found on our orders and shipping page.

The studio is full of brightly coloured paints, with a large window on the right and a patterned rug across the floor under the painting.
