Byzantine-inspired mosaics

Byzantine-inspired mosaics are intricate artworks created by assembling small, colored pieces of glass, stone, or ceramic to form detailed images or patterns. Originating from the Byzantine Empire, these mosaics often depict religious figures and scenes, characterized by rich colors, gold accents, and a sense of spiritual majesty. They were used to decorate churches, emphasizing divine presence and grandeur. The technique emphasizes durability and luminous visual effects, creating a shimmering, otherworldly quality that enhances the sacred atmosphere of religious spaces.
