The Mosaics made by Travisanutto develop all the know how inherited from the ancient mosaic tradition of Spilimbergo.
The materials used are mostly the beautiful Veneztian Smaltiand Golds made by the companies MDM Mosaici Donà Murano, Orsoni Mosaici, and Mario Donà & Figli.
This precious Venetian glass is famous for the beauty, the resistance and the unlimited variety of colours.
The expert Mosaicists use their experience to translate the idea of an artist into a finished Mosaic, choosing the correct colours with all the shadings necessary.
Even Natural Marbles are used in Mosaics, specially in ancient Roman reproductions.
Each Mosaic starts with the preparation of the full size drawing on paper.
The drawing is projected in a special room and is completely hand made.
Once this full size drawing is approved, the production of the Mosaic can start and this fabbrication can be done with 2 different techniques, or reverse on paper, or directly on a support.
The first possibility is eccellent if you need to cover a curved surface, like a dome, or if it’s necessary that the final result has to be completely flat. Subway Stations, Schools, where people can touch the artistic pieces, are done with this method, useful also if the Mosaic goes outside, maybe in very cold temperatures.
On the opposite way, the direct method is perfect if the Mosaic has to be strongly vibrated, with each stone that reflects the light in a particular way.
Mosaics can be done directly on fiberglass mesh, on wood or on honeycomb panels.
There are also other solutions that together with these two, are offered to the client when a project starts and the experience that Travisanutto has built in all these years is surely helpful to choose the best installation.
The Installation Teams are absolutely efficient and able to resolve any problem that might occur.
This brings to the obvious that Travisanutto Mosaics offers a complete service, from the beginning drawing to the final installation, and this is one of the reasons why this firm is unique.
Their Mosaics are built to stay and the special cements used are the best available in the world, reason why they can be placed under water or on top of a mountain.
Each single detail has been deeply studied and the result is the beautiful harmony that a Mosaic made by Travisanutto shows forever.
