(4 min read)<\/strong>\u00a0Every line of work has its often-used phrases and cliches, spoken so many times that they\u2019ve lost their true value or any meaning whatsoever. If you\u2019re into interior design in any way you will often hear words \u201ctimeless style\u201d thrown around like Joe Biden throws Obama\u2019s name\u200a\u2014\u200asenselessly, but with the hope it sticks somewhere. Needless to say, it\u2019s rarely fitting and on point, especially considering the fact that trends and people\u2019s tastes change like Trump\u2019s opinions\u200a\u2014\u200aon a daily basis and without much logic. On the same note, the same way it is in human nature to join in groups and follow leaders we mustn\u2019t forget that it is also in human nature to question everything. So, is there such a thing as \u201ctimeless style\u201d or do we just try to sound dramatic? In the world where James Charles is a successful millionaire, I\u2019d say it\u2019s probably the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to timeless and everlasting interior decoration and art, there is just one tangible thing that comes to mind\u200a\u2014\u200amosaics. Keeping in mind that the first known mosaics were found in one Mesopotamian temple that dates back to the 3rd millennium BC. Need I say more? There is also that \u201ctiny\u201d matter of the state that the large majority of these ancient mosaics were found in\u200a\u2014\u200avirtually unchanged, untouched. Paintings are influenced by the sun and rain, they get tears and after a while, they have to be taken into the hands of the professionals to be heavily worked on and restored. Sculptures become shattered or their pieces are broken off, making them unrecognizable. Books are damaged by mold, humidity and human negligence, so many of them are virtually unusable after some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, mosaics\u2026 well, let me tell you something, if art was Italian mafia, mosaics would be John \u201cTeflon Don\u201d Gotti because nothing harms these babies. Furthermore, due to their resilience and durability, mosaics don\u2019t require any kind of maintenance. Sure, if a mosaic is in the smoking area it should be wiped every once in a while, but that about sums it up. Of course, we are talking about the mosaic art made in a traditional manner, out of tesserae\u200a\u2014\u200aglass, marble, tiles or other hard, nature-based materials. If you make a contemporary mosaic art out of confetti and toilet paper, don\u2019t expect it to last\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the fact that mosaic art has been present for so long, it is still to this day considered to be an uncommon art form, kinda like Jeffree Star. Unlike other art forms, it demands a well-trained keen eye sensitive to details that are almost invisible to an amateur. In addition to that, the mosaic artist also has to be creative, calm and meticulous. I know that most blogs will tell you that all you have to do is have some sense of what\u2019s beautiful, some tools, glue and a handful of materials to make a perfect mosaic art, but I won\u2019t do that. Unless you are trained and experienced, you can at best make something fun-looking and vibrant, which is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ecstasy:

However, if you want to add some intrinsic value to your real estate or have something mesmerizing and mind-blowingly beautiful, you will need a professional. On the same note, as trained as professional mosaic artists are, they never create two same pieces. One of the most important features of mosaic artistry is the utter uniqueness of every piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when some \u201cwoke\u201d millennial crosses my path starting to question why we do what we do, yammering on about new art forms and digitalized ways of expressing your artistic nature\u2026 Guuuurl, you get back to me in 3000 years if this planet we are ruining so diligently manages to last that long. Because if it does, nobody will be able to find any trace of whatever that mumbo-jumbo you call art, but there will still be plenty of glorious mosaics all over the planet. Just like in the Mad Max: Fury Road, if this planet keeps revolving in space for another couple of thousands of years, mosaic art will \u201cwitness it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
