This mosaic is a tribute to Gustav Klimt’s painting: Judith II (Salome). The mosaic was made with the direct technique, involving the direct placement and gluing of individual tesserae on a support surface. This method produces a three-dimensional surface. The colours used are wide and complex: delicate colours for the complexions of the face and décolleté, bright colours for the background and tesserae containing 24 carat gold leaf.

Happening
This large wall mosaic is a reproduction of a pictorial work by the Slovenian artist Jože Ciuha. The work represents five characters who are arguing. The dark figures, characterised by their black colour, emerge strongly from the golden background. The whole golden background is made with precious tesserae that contain 24 carat gold leaf. Special eco-friendly smalti which are free from dangerous substances were used for the piece.

Endless Red
This mosaic is a reproduction of a work by Peter Ciuha entitled Endless Red. The mosaic presents two figures similar to Janus's double face, looking both forward and backward, into fullness and void, inside and out. The mosaic is built with the direct technique and has a powerful radiance. The deep red background was made with polychrome smalti.

Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up
This mosaic is a tribute to Egon Schiele and his painting: Sitting Woman with Legs Drawn Up. Every detail of the mosaic is reproduced with great skill, from the features of the face to the folds of the dress. The colours of the work are soft and suggestive, with a large white background, whose great beauty is given by the processing of the tesserae.

Day and night
This large wall mosaic, made with the direct technique, covers the entrance to a complex of private offices. The mosaic was made from a sketch by Austrian artist, Christian Ludwig Attersee. The work is built with polychrome smalti free of dangerous substances such as lead and arsenic. The richness and the movement of the tesserae succeeds in replictaing the multiplicity of colours and brushstrokes that are the distinctive feature of this Austrian artist.
