The mosaic that your space will thank you for.
Rip Curl Ocean Wave Marble Mosaic – Coastal Wall Art
Rip Curl is a handmade marble mosaic portraying the movement and energy of a powerful tidal wave. Crafted from natural marble and stones and assembled on mesh support, this ocean wave artwork brings a dynamic coastal subject and handcrafted mosaic texture to interior spaces.
Created by mosaicist Angelo Fabbri, the artwork is designed for offices, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and retail spaces. The mosaic can also be customized in size, tile type (marble or glass), shape, design, and color for different surfaces and design settings.
Materials and Craft
Rip Curl is made from marble and natural stones, with individual stone pieces hand-cut by artists and assembled into the mosaic artwork. The handmade process creates subtle variations in the color and cut of the stones, giving the finished piece its own visual character.
The mosaic is crafted on a mesh support for installation on an appropriately prepared surface. Available finishes include Natural, Polished, and Tumbled, allowing the marble surface to be presented with different treatments.
The artwork can be adapted for wall decoration, floor inlays, backsplashes, countertops, and counter covers. For humid or wet installations, the laying area must be waterproofed before installation.
Design Details
Rip Curl captures the movement of a tidal wave as it rises and curls through the composition. The subject gives the artwork a strong ocean-inspired character, while the hand-cut natural stone pieces translate the movement of the wave into a detailed mosaic surface.
Created by Angelo Fabbri, Rip Curl can be customized in size, tile type (marble or glass), shape, design, and color while retaining the character of the original wave design.
Where It Works
Rip Curl is suited to interior environments where ocean-inspired artwork and natural stone craftsmanship can contribute to the surrounding design.

You are 6 simple steps away to completely transforming your space:
Step 1. Gently open your package and unravel your mosaic. The mosaic is mounted on a fiber mesh backing and wrapped with a protective film from the reverse. Gently remove the protective film without damaging the mesh and remove any excess glue. Should individual stones have become loose during shipment, glue them back using a solvent-based adhesive.
Step 2. Using your trowel, spread a thin layer of adhesive or white thin-set mortar across the surface you wish to tile. If you’re placing your mosaic on a vertical wall or ceiling, you can always glue it to a wooden board and secure the board to the wall. In the case of large wall installations, nailing little nails into the gaps between the stones for a stronger seal is recommended. If the mosaic is to be laid in a humid or wet room, the laying area must be made waterproof. A special sealing adhesive should be used.
Step 3. Gently place the mosaic and use the flat end of the grout float to ensure the mosaic is perfectly flat and well adhered to the surface. Remove any excess of mortar with a damp cloth.
Step 4. Wait for at least 24 hours for the mortar to dry out. Once the mortar is dry, moisten the tiles using a damp sponge, spread your desired grout to fill the spaces between tiles using your grout float. Wipe down any excess grout, first with a dry towel, then a wet one. (Before applying the grout, make sure to glue back in place any fallen stone using a solvent-based adhesive)
Step 5. Once dry (will take approximately 24 hours), apply a marble and stone sealer.
Step 6. Take a step back and admire the space you’ve just transformed.

Your mosaic has its very own fingerprint
Just like your fingertips, your mosaic will be unique in the world. There are two reasons for this:
1. Nothing’s set in stone. Yet. Before you buy, you can customize: For any surface: Turn it into a floor inlay or rug, wall decoration, backsplash, countertop or tabletop. For any space: Make it sparkle indoors or outlast sun, snow and cannonball splashes outdoors. For any style: Change the size, natural stone type and color.
2. All mosaics are not created equal. Each one is made of natural stones, hand-cut by our artists. This means that while your art will look like the image above, we can’t guarantee an exact replica. Your masterpiece will have slight variations in color and cut of the tiles that will make it truly one of a kind.
