Marzia Truant for Caijou

My aptitude is to transform the matter giving it back all its expressive and communicative charge. I try to look beyond, to understand what lies on the other side of the matter itself, just investigating the emotional tension that I feel waving in the course of life. The mosaic provides nature with a framework, a structure because nature is primarily shaped and structured, and discovering the essence of this plot is what features my research. The gesture of placing each tile or element becomes so important as it was a note in a score, a continuous adjustment to the subtle breath of matter in search of a compositive melody, now warmer and expansive, then quieter and shy, placing it in a timeless space that makes the mosaic, by its nature fixed and static, an ensemble of vibrations with continuous echoes.

Mosaic is a language that devotes itself to the value of the surface, which becomes unbelievably interesting after a thorough study and application of the Theory of Color. The raw materials used become capable of creating a great effect through the texture’s weft and warp that almost suggests a tactile approach that reveals only when close to them the secrets of what the eyes can recognize from a distance. The mosaic offers boundless variables creating a never static surface that lively express itself through a vibrating dynamism.
The rhythmical play of materials is nothing but the different light-hold of the tiles reflecting a shot texture that
constantly changes and glows.
Musirama originates from the will to explore the contemporary side of the mosaic art. It takes root in the solid background of a Master of Mosaic but gives voice to a natural and inspired personal evolution.

Marzia Truant was born in 1973 in Pordenone (Italy) and graduated in 2007 as a Master of Mosaic at the
“Friuli Mosaic School” in Spilimbergo (PN) Italy. Since 2005, she has devoted herself to the design and construction of mosaic artworks.

The annual rings of a tree trunk lived millions and millions of years ago, a time capsule from the intrinsic value, represented by precious gold, pure and almost metaphysical, as the continuos suggestions it creates while playing with the light.

A shortcut through time with a over 100 Million year old petrified wood slab - touching the art of Venetian mosaic-making. Golden Venetian Smalto is running through the trunks cracks and veins. "It is the life form of a tree I respect so much, so old we can not imagine. Caijou is like gold for me, precious, beautiful and rare!" sais Marzia Truant.
