I am a mosaic artist, born in the south of France, having moved to the USA in 2001 from the Middle East in 2008. I studied mosaic techniques from the ancestral way to more modern techniques in a 3 year program at the University Saint Joseph in Beirut, Lebanon – receiving my diploma.
I flesh out my own designs, getting my inspiration from pieces of linen, carpets, and china – combining shapes and colors to create a world full of colors, texture, scent and music. A major focus of my work is to translate in mosaic some famous painters like Klimt or Van Gogh or oriental artists that I admire. I use mainly glass tiles tesserae, gold, gold based glass tiles and mirrors – but also marble, stone, broken china and Murano millefiori.
My work can be used everywhere to decorate your house – on walls or floors.
The most important thing is that EACH PIECE IS UNIQUE.
I also create objects in mosaic like shoes, masks, plates, and furniture…
I work mainly on commissions.
