This epic mural keeps making splashes all over the web, so it seemed only fair for us to honor it by posting a mosaic artwork of it. Mosaic Artwork<\/a> by Mosaics Lab<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy often has a root in reality, which is how we have such rich folklore and mythologies all over the world. You could argue that everything started once our ancestors started daydreaming some 200,000 years ago. The evolution of the creative mind is what eventually lead to the ultimate divergence between humans and hominid apes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the strangest and most alluring fantastical creatures is definitely a mermaid.

Pretty much everything you see around you, aside from nature, was just a fantasy at one point. Our surroundings are an endless array of the fruits of our own imagination. On that note, fantasy often turns into reality and then it is not a fantasy any longer. But what around us is actually still a fantasy? What keeps existing as that famous overlap between fantasy and reality Disney was talking about? Art, boys and girls, art. Most of all, mosaic art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosaic artworks are some of the earliest products of human imagination and they\u2019ve been well preserved and documented throughout history. Mythology and fantasy thrived through mosaic artworks and it certainly still keeps thriving through it today. In the beginning, people were just eager to decorate the temple dedicated to their gods, so those earliest mosaics were indeed the product of their imagination, but without any fantastical elements to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as people became more skilled at mosaicing, their topics became more sophisticated. Ancient Greeks were marvelous at creating mosaic art. Their mosaic artworks were rich with mythology and fantasy alike. From mythological creatures such as mermaids and centaurs to their glorious gods and goddesses, ancient Greeks were terrific at building some fantastical mosaic artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same trend continued to flourish in ancient Rome and throughout the European continent. Today, some four thousand years after the earliest known mosaic was built on the grounds of Usakli Hoyuk in Turkey, fantasy is still alive, well, and thriving in modern mosaic art. Styles may vary, materials are many, and presentation is always an individual choice, but whatever route a mosaicist decides to take, one thing is certain, fantasy is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now I would like to answer the ultimate question: \u201cLook at this stuff, isn\u2019t it neat, wouldn\u2019t you say my collection\u2019s complete?\u201d No Ariel, dolly, sweety, sugar, it is not.
