The Mosaicists of the Future
All children are potential mosaic artists and that is amazing
(4 min read) September is the baby safety month and on the surface of things, it might seem that we as mosaic artists and interior designers don’t have much to do with it…I am here to argue that we certainly do.

So, you know how art is mostly related to something serious and how most people who aren’t “artsy” think of it as a boring subject they should avoid? Unless a particular art piece is a product of the pop scene, it tends to be perceived as less fun and understandable. This particular notion doesn’t have to be problematic, but it also can be if you are trying to make your child fall in love with art as such. Kids don’t want to be bored, but they also don’t want to be taken lightly, so you need to walk that fine line between constructive enjoyment and careless fun.


Needless to say, mosaic art is by far one of the most engaging and “useful” art forms there is. You will notice my use of the quotation marks, simply because art doesn’t have to be useful per se, but mosaic art nonetheless is. It is beautiful, intricate and it requires years of studying in order to gain and polish the skill to do it properly. The value of the mosaic art as such is virtually undefinable, as the effort that goes into it greater than with most other art forms. Getting your child into the craft of mosaic art is one of the best things you can do for your kid. Through mosaic craftsmanship, your child will expand her/his creativity and learn all about self-discipline and observation. Not to mention that your child will gain an actual practical mastery that he can earn a living with, as well as respect and admiration of his peers. Mosaic art can truly help your child build character and establish himself as a person.


Some of the best mosaic artists of today started learning when they were at a very young age. Dany Shas, one of the best mosaicists in the world with a flair for a traditional style, started crafting his skill as a small boy watching his father build marvelous art pieces.

The renowned mosaic genius Nezar Stef fell in love with mosaic art as a child and today he has one of the best mosaic portfolios in the world and over 45 years of experience in creating mosaic art.

Sophie Laroche, an acclaimed mosaicist known for her terrific portraits and abstract designs, was just a small girl when she watched her grandfather craft his gorgeous mosaic pieces in his studio in France.

These are some challenging times for our youth. Do not let your children grow DOWN and become aimless bots of society. Give your children a proper field to build their individuality and hone some amazing skills. Learning about technology is all fun and dandy, but learning art can and should complement it making your kid a well rounded and successful individual.

It’s so interesting to hear where the artists got their start. And so many at a young age! My boys enjoy doing mosaics with small pieces of paper and we will be doing one with the kindergarten Cub Scouts of the American Flag next week at our meeting!
I am a huge lover of Mosaic art work. I think it is super creative and can only imagine the time and talent behind each piece.
These are all so creative! I’ve always been a big fan of mosaics. I tend to love flower ones.
My favorite mosaic in this article has to be the flower. I love how detailed they had to get for it to look the way it does. This is such an amazing form of art.
I agree with you that especially in this time of quarantine, Mosaic Art can provide constructive enjoyment for kids. and careless fun.
I agree! Mosaic art is a beautiful form of art for kids of all ages. Art can definitely be very useful in these hard times that we’re facing.

Gorgeous! I look the cherubic look of the first one.
Wow, this mosaic art is beautiful! Each piece is so unique.
I love the idea of having a full wall in my house with art like this, it’s so beautiful. Especially when light shines through, so pretty.
Awesome designs! My favorite is the girl walking with his dad. I love the idea of encouraging children to engage in artistic and creative activities.
This art is amazing! I’m just not sure if I would want it in my house as it’s not completely my style 🙂
Such beautiful artwork! These are all so stunning…I have to find a mosaic piece for my home.
This is really amazing. I want to buy 5 of the pieces here.

Simply amazing works of art. These are some talented people who made these.
This makes me dream of having a spot on my living room,that has a big space for mosaic like this. Stunning artworks. 💗
Nice baby mosaics. The mother and child is so stunning. I love it.
I wondered how this art pieces were made. I know these are made of tiles. I guess you need tons of patience cutting all the different shapes and putting them together. Wow, thumbs up for the artists.
Mosaics of this type are the height of elegance, they always have an antique touch, almost reminiscent of Fiorucci’s fashion style… Love it!

It just leaves you wondering what goes on in their minds that they can create masterpieces like this.
These mosaics are definitely eye-catching and beautiful! It takes a lot of time and effort to do these, so I really love the results and how they’re really lovely to look at. Thanks for sharing this nice article with us!
Some truly fantastic artwork here. The Daddy Hold My Hand one made me heart melt!
With the COVID situation, I did my best not to allow my kids from using gadgets, what happened is they’ve diverted their attention to art. I showed these to my kids and they’re both loving the artwork.
These mosaics are all so creative and beautiful! My daughter is a huge fan of art, so I should gather materials for her to make her own mosaic art!
I really love this art! It’s so cool and beautiful, It’s a masterpiece!
I had no idea that mosaics can be so versatile! I love them all, would be difficult to choose one best out of them! 🙂
Oh man these are all so much fun, thanks for sharing these!
I absolutely fascinated by these. They’re incredible.
Oh I love these – my friend has a painting of ‘The three ages of woman’ I love it.
All of these artists are incredible, but I’m just blown away by Danny Shas. Incredible!
Daddy hold my hand, love that mosaic art 😍 So meaningful and pretty,! Great post 👌
All great pieces, and interesting to hear some more behind them. Mosaics are such amazing works of art.
I agree with you, mosaic art is indeed one of the most engaging art forms there is. I would always pause and get awe-struck whenever I see mosaic artworks. Such intricate details! 🙂
This is so cool! My daughter loves art she would totally love this. So cool thank you for sharing your creativity!!!
I think the best way to expose young kids to mosiac is just exposing them and letting them try at an early age. It doesn’t have to be precisely mosiac art. Tearing paper into bits and then gluing them together to create a picture is the first step!
The “Matthew” mosaic is my favorite. I learn so much about mosaics from your posts! I really would like to incorporate mosaics into my home.
It just blows me away with how creative people are. These are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Beautiful! Sometimes, I feel like converting my li’l one’s art pieces in to wall arts!
I love the art of the mosaic. This is so intricate and beautifully detailed.
These are amazing! The more I see, the more I want to incorporate mosaics into my own decorating. They are spreading to new reaches, and I love it.
