Bestel je eigen unieke mozaïek
I make Roman mosaics with a contemporary twist. The simplification to the essentials, the limited use of color, finding the right marbles, applying the right andamenti rules, … it all contributes to the pleasure that making these mosaics brings me. Each work comes with its own challenges so it never gets boring and it’s never the same.
I would also love to create a unique work for you: your favorite artist, your profession, one of your children or an animal that you absolutely love, … everything can be converted from a photo into a mosaic that resembles an ancient Roman mosaic. There are always twists, not only in the subject, sometimes also in the materials I use and I will always try to add something that is not in line with Roman times, eg sunglasses or a toy car… But they all have one thing in common and that is: each stone is cut manually and placed in the right place, in order to achieve a unique work.
If you are interested in having such a work made, please contact me to discuss the options, details and price.
I am happy to help you find that one right photo or that one right twist.
Of course you can always visit my studio (by appointment) to take a look at how it all works.
View the portfolio items for more detailed information about the works and more photos.

Zelf leren mozaïeken vanaf 18 jaar
I teach at the Wilrijk academy there you can learn all about mosaics according to the correct rules. Learn all about andamenti in various mosaic styles: Roman, Byzantine and contemporary. Every student eventually finds his/her own unique style. There are some technical aspects to mosaics such as learning how to work with a hammer and chopping block, but once you master that, the possibilities of mosaics are endless.
You can register from the end of June to 31 September.
Open day this year is: June 10, 2023
