Description

This contemporary mosaic emphasizes abstract, angular, and geometric design with little ornamentation. Alexander Aboutaam explores architecture as design for his works. The arch stands sturdy while the circles give it a sense of wonder and otherworldliness. He also relates this mosaic to basketball, a sport that shaped him as a youth in New York City. The beauty of the mosaic that is truly can live vertically or horizontally. The curves of the arches can also be connected to Bauhaus architecture as well as Anatolian idols, two fields from which Aboutaam draws inspiration from.

With two multi-layered arches face one another, and red and yellow circles symmetrically aligned, it is simple but emotional. The architectural abstractness evokes calm, serene, and reflective emotions. Surrounded by a black frame, the piece can complement any modern living space.

Creation

Mosaic‑making has a lineage spanning thousands of years. Early civilizations created stone tapestries to adorn homes, honor culture, and impress guests. Antico Contempo brings this tradition into the modern day, utilizing ancient techniques in both restored and contemporary designs.

Each mosaic begins with research into historic patterns, materials, and techniques to capture their cultural and visual language. We reimagine these compositions for a modern setting while honoring their original spirit. In collaboration with mosaic artists, historians, and designers, we create works that unite antique and contemporary sensibilities, rich with color and emotion.

The process starts with natural stone like marble, granite, limestone, onyx, and travertine—never colored or dyed. Hand‑cut into tesserae, every piece is arranged with patience, artistry, and mastery of ancient craft. After weeks, months, or even years of meticulous craftsmanship, each mosaic is completed with a refined frame, ready for effortless display.
