Today is my brother Vic's birthday. He is a talented mosaic artist. I want to wish him well today and share a little of his work with you. This is from his website:
My artistic background for the past twelve years has involved computer graphic design. During the mid 1990's, I taught computer graphic animation to artists in dozens of television stations across the country and internationally, including CNN, and many major network affiliates.
Involvement with mosaics evolved from being an early interest into a major direction in my life. As a mosaicist, I work at achieving figurative works with glass. Using curved and geometric shapes of various kinds of stained glass to make up my palette, I cut and nip each shard of glass to fit. Each piece that is incorporated in to the design reveals a fraction more of the image. Creating figures with naturalness and flow, within the patient process of mosaics has become my artistic challenge.
Some of my favorite pieces:
The Swing
Tara
Benji
Gem
Europa
Friends
Vic presented last year at the national convention of The Society of American Mosaic Artists and was Artist of the Month in Rancho Magazine in December 2005.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VIC!
