Mosaic Art has now started to become a part of modern society's collective consciousness in design. As a result, private and public commissions have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Although mosaic tiles are primarily viewed as an architectural feature in today's world, the history of mosaics is often forgotten. There is an amazing heritage of mosaics dating from the Roman and Byzantium times.
In a design sense, there is an exciting challenge to contemporise an art form such as Mosaics from its historical background.
From simple geometric patterns to intricate motifs, the design possibilities for mosaics are endless.
Styles range from classic to contemporary, and you can vary the colour palette from warm to cool.
Light, contrast, movement and tonal qualities are important attributes in Mosaic Art.
