Marian Shapiro

Mosaic Artist. Art and architectural mosaics What intrigues me personally about mosaics is the texture of the materials and by the immediacy of the process. After years in the computer industry, I am very attracted by the idea of making something concrete (sometimes literally). I also find the hands-on nature of the work very appealing. The art pieces are often inspired by the materials and by the contrasts that I can achieve by mixing different textures in the same piece. The roughness of marble against the smoothness of glass. The density of colour in smalti and the translucence of vitreous glass. I am also interested in the play of colour over a large area and the way in which colour itself can lend movement and dimension to an otherwise flat artwork.
