Coffee Mosaics !

After the 2012 World Largest Coffee Bean Mosaic by Russian artist Arkady Kim...

Mexican Artist Carlos Torio's mosaic  'La Ceremonia de la Cápsula’ is composed of Espresso coffee cups of various colours. 

In his work displayed in the Gallery  Mad is Mad in Madrid, Spain, the Artist expresses his beloved concept of the eternal return through the recycling of empty coffee cups.

Re-cycling as Re-turn...

I am a modern mosaic artist with a studio in Headland, Alabama, USA and Saint Valery / Somme in Northern France. Although my work is mostly inspired by the Arts of Classical Rome and Greece I am also highly interested in modern artists working with unconventional materials. I enjoy sharing the latest news about them in this blog.

A Mexican Kitchen

The Mexican Kitchen of the Japanese House... This is the Dojo I built behind my house. It also includes an Italian Bathroom (see previous post)

I have used a great number of exotic and rich materials : Italian Green slates and red ceramic for the floors, Mexican multicolored azulejos and various stone and glass tiles for the walls, Black and Gold Granites for the counter tops.

The walls are venetian plasters.
