The Musicians / Les Musiciennes

18 month ago I built mosaic portraits of two beautiful young French musicians.

Il y a 18 mois, j'ai realise le portrait de deux superbes musiciennes francaises. 

Luana's portrait was my interpretation of Botticelli's painting "Primavera".

Pour le portrait de Luana  je m'etais inspire du Printemps de Botticelli

I designed Charlotte's portrait in a more Roman classical style, as an emblemata surrounded by a frise of entrelacs.

J'ai concu le portrait de Charlotte dans un style plus proche du classicisme Romain du debut de l'Empire, un emblemata encadre d'un triple entrelac.

 

These two talented young women are musicians, They both presently are studying at the Royal College of Music in London. I told you they were beautiful, now is time to show you how talented they also are. 

Ces deux jeunes femmes talentueuses sont musiciennes. Elles etudient toutes deux au College Royal de Musique a Londres. Je vous ai deja dit qu'elles etaient belles. Elles sont aussi tres douees. Ecoutez la musique !

  

Enjoy !

Faites-vous plaisir !

Mosaic Portaits

Although I create lots of eyes mosaics, I also do full face portraits. my last two were portraits of 2 young talented musician sisters. 

 

Luana on the left plays the Piano, Charlotte on the right plays the Cello 

In Luana's portrait, I was inspired by the "Primavera" painting of Sandro Boticelli. 

I realized Charlotte's in a more Classical Roman style by using a "Guilloche" border, as the one used in this Dionysos Mosaic from Lybia

These pieces had to be delivered in France. I built both of them on a fiberglass mesh and took them with me in a wooden crate. I then completed them in my small studio above the gorgeous Baie de Somme.

A few times every year I create custom mosaics for my collectors. They often, but not always, are portraits. 

If you were interested in a commission, here is how things typically happen :

• You send me a picture of the space or area where you would like the mosaic.
• You share your idea of what you want.
• I create and share with you a draft drawing or computer rendering of the mosaic, complete in context so you can see it in your space, and you can offer feedback.
• Once we agree on the project, you pay a 60% deposit and I go to work.
• I deliver and install the mosaic in your space and show you how to care for it.

Muses, Mosaic and Music.

Did you know that the two words Mosaic and Music have a similar ancient Greek root "μουσ" (mous) ?

Both words are relatives to the Muses, goddesses of the arts. Themselves a favourite theme of classical Roman mosaicists !

The nine Muses mosaic of Kos (Rhodes Island)

"Music" comes from the ancient Greek “μουσικός” (Mousikos)

"Mosaic" was formed from the ancient Greek "μουσεῖον" (Mouseîon)

This video is an accelerated take of my building the Mugen mosaic, a portrait of my late Border Collie Mugen who died 3 years ago, realized in Opus Pixellatum. The music is from Beethoven, and it is interpreted by my 2 nieces Charlotte and Luana. So here, you have the best of the 2 worlds of music and mosaic, a family business !
