"Dancing Azul" was inspired by the joyful times spent playing in the sea with my daughter during family holidays abroad. I wanted to capture the essence of the ocean's playful waves and the cherished memories of our time together.
The mosaic features a dynamic array of curves and curls in blue hues, arranged to mimic the fluid motion of the sea. Intricate patterns and swirls evoke the playfulness and lively nature of the waves, bringing a sense of movement and energy to the piece.
Much of the glass is translucent allowing the sun to shine through from behind creating a glow. There are also areas of reflective glass that catch the sunlight, creating a sparkling effect reminiscent of the sun dancing on the water's surface and accents of white, representing the frothy surf, completing the coastal theme. These elements together add a touch of magic, drawing viewers in and inviting them to experience the joy and freedom of the sea.
"Dancing Azul" is a celebration of family, nature, and the simple pleasures of life. It will transform any garden, forming an impressive focal point for everyone to enjoy.
50 x 50cm on a black metal frame and mounted onto an oak beam.
This piece can be viewed or collected by arrangement from my studio in Swindon, Wiltshire. Contact me if you would like to discuss.
Dancing Azul - Glass Garden Mosaic Focal Point
The glass has been hand cut, the edges smoothed and then silicone glued onto a Perspex base. Once dried, I then grout using exterior grade grout, which really make the colours pop! All the materials I use are frost proof and weather resistant, so your piece is ready to display outside in your garden and can stay out all year round. Just be mindful, that in high winds, it is best placed somewhere sheltered.
As with any item made from glass, please be careful when handling. There may be sharp edges to some of the glass, so please keep out of reach of small children. You can clean the glass, if needed, using water and a little washing up liquid, with a sponge or soft cloth.
