I worked in Milan as freelance graphic designer for some years and collaborated in the preparation of handbooks about interior decoration with mosaic. That is when the interest for this technique started.
I find mosaic the perfect media for my pieces. I love to work with my hands, feel the stones and glass shards under my fingers, and grout a surface to unveil the result. My pieces are mostly made with the direct method, which consists in creating the motif by cutting individually pieces of glass, ceramic and other materials with a special mosaic plier or a hammer and hardie. A sketch drawn on the substrate works as guide to help building the design. The shards are glued to the substrate and subsequently grouted with cement to fill the gaps in between.
Subjects in my works are often taken from nature; they can be landscapes I find interesting or flowers, they are my favorite.
I create pieces for interior as well as garden decoration and jewelry. I also work on commission and offer workshops and mosaic classes for beginners.
Thank you for visiting my shop.
