Mosaic: geometric and decorative, figurative or abstract, traditional or inlaid. Its compositional nature makes it perfectly suited for a wide range of design applications. Born in ancient times and originally used for functional rather than decorative purposes, mosaic is among the most used techniques in our atelier. Whether for portraits and thematic representations, or for the decoration of architectural and design elements, its sculptural character makes it ideal for any project and every level of complexity.
In sacred spaces, mosaic has long served to narrate scripture and saints, its durability suited to images meant to last generations. Progetto Arte Poli applies this tradition to altars, apses, and chapels, translating each commission into thousands of hand-set tesserae. The same technique that once covered the walls of early Christian basilicas continues, in the studio’s hands, to give form to the sacred today.
