Mosaics- Abstract

Item Description

Size:  9in x 9in framed

Media: silver-gilded stained glass, dichroic glass spirals

Artist Statement:

'Bailando en Cobre'  (dancing in copper) is part of a series that plays with the juxtaposition of geometric and organic shapes along with properties of the light.  This piece uses stained glass that has been silver gilded to achieve maximum light reflectivity and beautiful spirals cut of dichroic glass, a material that is created by laying multiple ultra-thin layers of different metal oxides onto the glass surface while heated and moving in a vacuum chamber. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected.

She won several awards for her mosaic art and was granted with a scholarship to study at The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass in New York and was selected to receive the Robin Brett Mosaic Scholarship given by The Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA), a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, inspiring, and promoting excellence in fine mosaic art.

Luz works with a variety of materials, including glass, stone, metal leafs and clay, incorporating different techniques to achieve unique effects in her work.

Currently, Luz divides her time between creating mosaics in her studio, continuing her education and working as an instructor with Piece by Piece and 2nd City Council, both non-profit organizations offering mosaic art workshops to inner-city communities.  In  2009 and 2010 she participated in the Los Angeles Mayor Villagarosa's Gang Reduction Program “Summer Night Lights”.
