Boreejon
has a business providing custom mosaic art. Some of the time, he uses mosaic
tiles and clay to make 3d animal sculptures. Although his sites did not specify
where he got his inspiration from, it does say that he loves to use vibrant
colors and textures. After doing a bit more investigation, I found out that he
finds inspiration in everything. His main inspiration is the love of art and
creating. He’s attracted to the colors of nature and tries to create art that
reflect those colors. He creates mosaics with many different materials –
stained class, tiles, and stones. Based on his work, it shows that he really
likes Christmassy themes, animals, and patterns. Other than mosaic sculptures,
he also creates garden art, jewelry, and back splashes.
His
deer sculpture captivated me. I first saw it on Pinterest. I really liked its
pose and its colors. It brought the animal to life. I’ve always thought that
mosaics were 2d, but when I saw this, it changed my perspective on mosaics. I
also really liked how he used different materials to create his sculptures.
It’s very creative.

Karla
Duterloo is currently situated in Cape Town, South Africa creating a series of
Hunting Trophy Heads. After she works on Hunting Trophy Heads, she will work on
3d mosaic fish. In the past, when she was in other areas of South Africa, she
worked for a charity organization training local women to become independent by
creating their own arts and sewing works. She has many studios in many
different countries, including London, Switzerland, the Caribbean, and
Netherlands. She also designed a children’s clothing line and illustrated
Children’s books. Again, her biography does not say how she was inspired, but it
does say that she has a degree in arts and in recreation/art therapy. Apart
from mosaic sculptures, she creates Zuni disks, mosaic trophy heads, and
decorates floors.
She
gave me the idea to create a dove. Whole-heartedly, she dedicated her work to
help those who needed it. Doves can represent peace. By helping African women,
in a way, she is bringing peace to them, so they can have a better life.
John T. Unger
John
T. Unger is multi talented. He is a poet and writer, a print and web designer,
illustrator, industrial designer, musician, teacher, actor, set designer, and
visual artist. At first, he spent his life pursuing for a poetry career. But
then, he changed his mind and wanted to be a visual artist. His first artwork
was inspired by African and Haitian art. It still remains as the core of the
work he does now. He is most well known for his sculptural firebowls. He uses
unique patterns as part of the base of his art. He believes that art includes
the story, environment, experience, and adventure. It is not something we make
or buy, but is the way we spend our time every day. He works primarily with
recycled materials. His artwork is for functionality yet beautiful at the same
time.
I
really liked how he used different materials to create mosaics. The polar bear
(below) was really nice. I liked how the white mosaic on it was plain yet it
stood out and attracted my attention. The overall design was very nice. So, to
add on to my idea of making a dove, the white tiles would work well (I think)
on pretty much any sculpture.
