10 years with Tesserae

10th Annual Mosaic Group Exhibition

11 – 23 February 2025, 18.00’ – 22.00’

Michael Cacoyannis Foundation

Exhibition organization: ΨΗΦΙΔΩΝ Γνώσις MOSAICART – www.mosaicart.gr

The title of the exhibition is literal: This year, the group of mosaicists celebrates the ten years of our annual exhibitions in the hospitable space of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, which in recent years has become a permanent point of showcasing our works. Most of the participants are ‘fellow travelers’ from the beginning of our course, with the pleasant addition of other mosaicists who share the same passion, the same love, the same goal: the introduction and promotion of mosaic art to the Greek public.

We therefore celebrate our resilience, an element embedded in the DNA of the mosaic, “the true painting for eternity”, as the great Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio assessed this art.

And of course, we continue to celebrate with our works the pluralism in expression, in ideas, in techniques, in the numerous materials that characterize this laborious, ancient but at the same time so modern art form. Its timelessness emerges vividly in the themes we choose, and is proved by the depictions of ancient mosaics, symbolic expressions, remarks on social issues, abstract concepts, stirrings of emotions, interpretations of other art forms, or the unexpected encounters of various materials.

We hope that these different perceptions of content and modes of expression will convey to the viewer a sense of the dynamics, and a little of the magic hidden in the mosaic art.
