Dona Ferentes

Dona Ferentes is the fourth in my Series of Carole’s Mosaic Eyes

In this series of mosaic eyes portraits 3 different techniques :

• Opus Pixellatum
• Opus Tessellatum
• Borders inspired by Greek geometric patterns

jointly bring depth and mystery to the mosaic as well as into the mind of the spectator.

Opus Pixellatum

Opus Pixellatum, a technique I invented in 2015, allows to create very different mosaics from a same model. The printed model used to build the mosaic is similar in its principle to a sheet music.  Different musicians can play the same tune in different ways, but a listener should always recognize the overall melody.  Many different mosaics can be created from a same Opus Pixellatum model but a viewer should always recognize the underlying pattern. Here below are the four other Carole’s mosaic eyes I produced so far, more will follow as I keep experimenting with the variations allowed by these techniques.
