Mosaic Art

What do you see?

This is entitled Faces. It’s a mosaic art which is made of paper cut-outs from the glossy pages of magazines to form an abstract pixilated piece. One pixel is actually one piece of colored cut-out.  Every piece is glued on to a large sheet of paper and then sealed off with about 3 coats or more of decoupage medium. It is then matted and framed in a 72x102 cm black Ribba frame from IKEA. 

We wanted a conversation piece, something one-of-a-kind and colorful in the Living Hall. It’s also inexpensive and “green” because it’s made from recycled paper.  And design-wise, I think I have succeeded in that. We actually want a larger piece but were limited with the frame size available.

It is from this artwork that I took all the accent colors for the area, the reds of the throw pillow, the blue one-seater sofa and books, the purple flowers, and the gold-themed Christmas tree. All the rest of the furnishings are in muted neutral colors.


I'm still thinking of another artwork for the Master Bedroom, and I will surely share what I have come up for that in the future. Hopefully soon.
