NEO-BYZANTINE MOSAIC ART

Mosaicists today are recreating the brilliance of Byzantine mosaics—shimmering gold backgrounds and bold icons—in new settings: decorating contemporary churches, civic murals, or abstract panels for galleries. They might use traditional smalti glass or experiment with unconventional materials (mirror shards, computer chips). This neo-Byzantine art is inclusive in bridging sacred and secular spaces, proving that the ancient language of mosaics can still awe viewers and convey transcendent radiance in our modern world.
