Béatrice Serre

Mosaic is a language of both hand and mind directly linked to the cosmos. Béatrice Serre has revitalized this age-old art with her exuberant, futuristic creations. These compositions of profound, jubilant power are crafted from fragments of various precious and unconventional materials unearthed from the depths of the earth. Using the ancient Greco-Roman and Byzantine techniques of stone cutting, Béatrice meticulously breaks down the raw mineral matter with a mallet and block, transforming it into a myriad of tesserae, like so many elementary particules from the Big Bang. She assembles the pieces following the subtle alchemy of inlaying materials, unlocking another dimension: the mosaic comes out of its frame and permeates the three-dimensional space. The irregular concretions of Béatrice Serre form an infinite array of miniature and mesmerizing realities, like so many worlds waiting to be revealed. They metamorphize into jewelry, furniture and monumental décors, acting as potent maelstroms whose captivating force draws us toward the dizzying vastness of the universe. A symbol of unity, harmony, rebirth, and the sublimation of difference beyond style, mosaic unveils to us the realm of possibilities.
