Timea Karkiss: Mosaic Harmonies
There’s something so very soothing about mosaic. Perhaps it’s because in a world of gritty contemporary art statements, its timeless, non-confrontational nature lets you simply get lost in intricate beauty and humbling workmanship. Budapest born Timea Karkiss is a master of the art form. She creates her mosaics with hand-broken stones and glass mosaic tiles in the original ancient technique used during the Roman and Byzantine era—but applies a modern filter. Enjoy a wide-ranging collection of her vivid creations at the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Afterwards, take a relaxing stroll in the museum’s restful gardens, a green oasis in the city heart.
