Mosaic is the art of decorating a
surface with designs made up of closely set, small pieces of material such
as colored stone, glass, ceramic and others .
Mosaic pieces are called tesserae (from the Latin word meaning dice or cubes) and Smalties
(these smalti are hand-cut with a hack hammer and a
chisel, producing a single tessera in the desired form and dimension).
This
art is principally used to decorate walls, floors and vaults. In Byzantine
times, a portable mosaic was a small size depicting a single icon or
figure such as the saints. Today portable mosaics of any topic still
constitute the most common form of mosaic and are of canvas-sized
dimension or less.
We used this art with
Arabic Calligraphy and produce beautiful pieces that capture the eyes.
