When we talk about mosaics,
Most people associate it with indecency and lawlessness,
Because of this inherent thinking,
Let the original sacred and charming art,
Gray, gradually lost luster.
Some people say that in order to dispel the haze caused by too many frustrations in the world, God will inadvertently turn over his palette, so that this bleak world is full of gorgeous colors. Mosaic may be the kaleidoscope God sent to the world.
The real mosaic is actually an art of Western religious civilization that has gone through thousands of years. It originated in ancient Greece. The word mosaics is transliterated from mosaic. It comes from the name "Musa", the goddess who mastered the art of poetry in ancient Greek mythology. The original meaning is "artistic work worthy of meditation and patience". It is usually inlaid with colored pieces of small stones, shells, tiles, glass, etc. in frescoes or paintings The wall surface and so on draws the patchwork pattern to carry on the decoration.
The earliest Mesopotamian culture can be traced back to 3000 B.C. at that time, the rulers of ancient Greece ordered craftsmen to decorate their living places in the form of mosaics in order to show their status. Craftsmen match many black and white stones, and then use mortar to arrange them on the wall to form a huge mural. It is very time-consuming. It is precisely because of this very patient drawing process that mosaic is called "Musa".
In the Byzantine Empire, Christianity was legal and developed vigorously. A large number of churches began to use mosaics to beautify, and the colors became more and more colorful. A large number of gold foils were also used, and mosaics developed to the peak. Christians express their faith with art, and the Christian stories made by mosaic play a positive role in the process of spreading Christian culture.
By the 1920s, artists and designers claimed to break away from traditional aesthetics and emphasize a new style of decoration. Mosaics are brilliant.
As a popular art form at that time, mosaic also spread to all corners of the world, such as Russia's Winter Palace, blood dripping church, St. Louis Catholic cathedral and other places can see its gorgeous figure.
In fact, the influence of mosaic art is far more than that. In Spain at the end of the 19th century, designer Antony Gaudi began to integrate mosaic art into modern architecture. The Guel park he built with mosaic art in Barcelona is a classic work of mosaic art in architectural history.
In the later stage of development, mosaics have become more and more elegant things in people's daily life, not just the dignity of looking up. For example, Turkish glass mosaic lamps are made of fragments of colored glass. These colorful and shaped glass fragments were carefully combined by the craftsmen to form these beautiful lampshades. With the light source inside the lamp being lit up, the warm and romantic luster it emits always gives people the illusion of being in the fairy tale world.
Every hand-made glass mosaic lamp is unique in the world. The crystal colored glass, no matter how many centuries, will not lose their original color and light. Maybe, when you walk on the streets of Turkey and walk into an antique lamp shop, you will fall in love with "the city" because of a lamp.
In this complicated splicing,
Each lattice form has its specific meaning of existence.
No matter the size, no matter the size,
As long as it's in the right place,
They will be built internally,
Deduce a different kind of beauty.
It can be pure and elegant, complicated and gorgeous
It can be Zen or fun,
With the right heart, fragments are also aesthetical,
Especially through the interpretation of light and shadow,
It's like entering a dreamland,
It's hard to forget to go back.
In fact, our life is also like a mosaic of fragments of different shapes, colors and materials. Each experience is independent of each other but formed together
