]]> Greek artist and visual designer Charis Tsevis creates stunning mosaic portraits. In a recent segment of his African Brick series, he depicted beautiful black women created in his unique style. He was inspired to create it when he visited the African continent.

Tsevis fell in love with Africa at first sight. He enjoyed learning about different cultures there and loved nature, animals, people, and the history he encountered, especially the houses.

“People used bricks and any kind of material they could find to build a home, a nest, a shelter. I have seen so much courage and so much creativity in all these houses. For me, these are the celebration of life. An incredible puzzle, an amazing mosaic of symbols, messages, and feelings. It was a no-brainer to use this idea for my personal art,” he tells My Modern Met.

Among the portraits from the recent series is the writer Amanda Gorman, whose portrait is called And Still I Rise after the famous poem by Maya Angelou, and reggae artist Keznamidi.

I started @fauxsaics because I wanted a meditative, repetitive after-work activity to relax me and allow me to fantasize about traveling. I also wanted to find a way to merge my love for interiors, decorative arts, and typography. I didn’t imagine it would grow as it did and take me where it has. I’m so thrilled and grateful that Fauxsaics has just won awards from both @communicationarts and @howbrand and has gotten me nominated for the @shortyawards (which, I must admit, I had never heard of—but hey, RuPaul is also a nominee, so call me chuffed) I might or might not bug you for a vote later on, since I hate asking for things like this. I’m super grateful for your support, encouragement, but especially your patience! I know the fauxsaics class has taken me WAY longer than originally anticipated, but I’m excited to be making real headway. The script for the whole thing is done, now I’m starting on the filming and editing ❤ in the meantime, here’s my #artnouveau fauxsaic for #Paris in a different color way!

I LOVE visiting #Boston, and the fact that some of my best friends live there makes it even better (sadly, none of them speak in that epic Boston accent yet) 😍 Mosaic theory tidbit: usually, there is a line that traces the perimeter of the main subject. This technique is called Opus Vermiculatum (because it worms around the edges). Sometimes, like in this case, there are two (or more) rows of this type of tiling ☝🏼✨ — Thank you all for the awesome feedback on what you’d like to see in my upcoming #fauxsaics class, which will be full of information and techniques like the one I just shared. I’ll be announcing the release date soon! So exciting! — Shoes by @vegetarianshoes Prints via link in bio

]]> In the video below, you can see a section of a micromosaic table being recreated. The principles of this technique date back to the 1730s, but the tools have been updated since and the artists use modern ones today.

To make micromosaics, they first heat sand and chemicals in a furnace to make glass. For different colors of the glass, different chemicals are used under specific atmospheric conditions. Then, they cut the glass into squares which could be used for regular-sized mosaics. For micromosaics, though, they are melted again to get the tiniest pieces.
