It is believed that the origin of the mosaic technique dates back to more than 3000 years BC in Mesopotamia, although it was developed and refined in ancient Greece, reaching its peak in the elaborate Roman mosaics and the Byzantine Empire.
The word mosaic means “work inspired by the muses”, divinities of the Arts.
The making of a mosaic follows very specific steps, being a very complete process that includes design, ingenuity, creativity and technique.
Pebbles, stones of different sizes or uniform tesserae are used depending on the effect you want to achieve and mortars such as lime or plaster.
Originally the support was the floor or the wall. In this case we have used a wooden board with a frame to contain the plaster that is applied at the end of the process.
We have taken inspiration from original ornaments from Persia, Greece and Rome.
