“Mosaico Oggi" 
Associazione Culturale
Arte e Design Rome, 31/12/2014
Dear Colleagues,
As we wish a Happy New Year to all, we are pleased to announce that the association,
"Mosaico Oggi” (Mosaic Today), with the participation of municipalities and interested bodies, has brought together the competition, "Mosaic Today", reserved for students in Italian and foreign mosaic schools, with the competition reserved for artists who express themselves through the mosaic technique. The terms of the consolidated contest will be published in upcoming days.
As with the prior contests, prizes for the winners include a workshop and accommodations in an art colony in Turkey ( www.portakalcicegi.org); and a workshop and accommodations in the art colony of Strumica located in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).
I expect (subject to change), that the event will open on May 1, 2015 at the
Cloister of Augustinians in Bracciano and, according to the current plan, the works selected by the Academic Committee, will be recognized in Rome, at the Galleria della Pigna in via della Pigna 13, on Saturday, May 23, 2015.
Pending the publication of the final rules of the contest, including eligibility terms required
for submission of works for participation and selection criteria, on behalf of the academic committee in charge, I send you all many heartfelt wishes.
Fernanda Tollemeto

Artist's Statement
‘There is an invisible creator in the desert - the wind - which forms landscapes of continual change . . . The realisation that nothing in this world is permanent is one which has absorbed my thinking for many years. I use the qualities inherent within my materials of gold and glass to manipulate light and to try to fix for eternity something which I know, no longer exists . . . This is the real meaning and lesson of the desert ...to convince us of the only certainty -death - while telling us that there is only life and perpetual transformation.' Elaine M. Goodwin. 2014

Loukia Orfanou
MOSAICO
Solo exhibition of Loukia Orfanou
Estudio Gallery, Kifisia
Athens, Greece
December 12-16, 2014
WOMEN IN MOSAIC DRESS
Artist's statement: "The question that concerned me in this work is the process of creating the "mosaic" of female presence and dynamics over time. This process is certainly not new, but has been constantly renewed for thousands of years. It remains for us to give to the image the measure of our time. Why the priestess of flamenco, Sara Baras, is nothing more than the form of Salome two thousand years later. We thus discover nothing new, but recreate what exists and try to give it new life. "
