Characteristics of Mosaic Art

Mosaic art consists of combining tiles in various shapes and sizes, created with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail, resulting in a beautifully finished work of art. Utilizing a wide range of colors and materials, such as ceramics, glass, marble, and more, we create artworks for walls and floors that balance both durability and beauty.

Mosaic art created with dot art requires simplification and stylization techniques. We will create it by replacing the client's image with mosaic tiles.

A rich variety of colors and light reflections allow for the creation of beautiful designs and patterns. Dot art, meticulously crafted by placing each tile individually, allows for intricate patterns and complex designs. By employing techniques such as semi-handcrafted and fully handcrafted art, more detailed and three-dimensional expressions can be achieved.

Hand-cut art is a technique in which each tile is carefully cut by hand, with its shape and size adjusted to fit the design. At X-iS, artisans carefully follow the grout lines and pay attention to every detail, aiming for a perfect and beautiful finish. By crafting each piece by hand, we create unique art that offers a distinctive look and an unmatched space.

After the art is arranged, we secure it by applying glued paper. Once it’s dry, we cut it into sizes suitable for installation and send it along with a layout diagram indicating the arrangement order.

By combining tiles of different materials and sizes, a wider range of expressions becomes possible. By incorporating tiles with different textures and colors—like glass, ceramics, and metal—into mosaic art, you can add movement to a space and create designs that go beyond traditional mosaics.
This freedom of combination brings new value not only to art pieces but also to architectural decorations with functional purposes.
