Eva’s Eyes

The Eyes of Eva Green.

I used black granite, travertines, ceramics and glasses, Metallic frame.

Eva’s Eyes was built following the reverse method. In this way, I can use materials of different thickness.

The mosaic is built upside down, and I do not always see the exact colours. as the back of a tile is not always the same colour as its front.

Once the piece is complete, I glue on top of it a support board mounted on a wooden frame.

Finally, after 48 hours left for the thinset cement glue to set, I flip the whole piece and remove the model stuck into it.

This is the first time I see the actual result of my work … Always a magical moment !

Several more hours will bee needed for cleaning up  and finishing the piece.

48 hours separate these 2 images. In the top one all tesserae (Small tiles) are glued on the model.

The bottom one is the other side of the same piece – its mirror image – and the actual mosaic.
