Mosaic Art

http://www.ivanulmann.com

Mosaics have belonged forever to one of the most precious wall- graffiti’s of human history. Invented first by the Greeks and later practised by the Romans, mosaics still continue today to capture the fascination of the watcher today. With a lot of passion and patience, I bring the pieces belong together, together. In my portraits and sculptures made out of broken tiles, I automatically create visual breaks between the colourful individuals, which make my works look more real and alive.

I was born 1976 in Switzerland, where I lived until finishing The Art School in St. Gallen (CH) 1995. From 1996-98 I accomplished many works in stone, marble and granite for both public and private park projects in the Algarve / Portugal. Inspired by the works of Antonio Gaudi and Andi Warhol, I changed at the beginning of 1999 to the broken tiles and discovered a new world of art. Since 2000 my sculptures and portraits of famous people have led to many accomplished art exhibitions throughout Portugal. Thank you for your attention
