What is mosaic art?
Mosaic is a visual technique made by placing small pieces of stone, glass or ceramic into a surface.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Size, direction, color and setting material shape the image. Floors, walls and contemporary public works use different supports. Architectural context matters as much as individual pieces.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Removal can sever an original relationship to place. Conservation should assess moisture, support and visitors; replacement pieces should make interventions distinguishable.
