ME AND MY FRIENDS

2009-11-30T07:41:00.000-08:00

I think I've never spoke about Mosaizm and I suppose it's the right moment to do that:
<<Mosaizm is a celebration of mosaic. we are a collective of people from different cultural backgrounds. it is mutual inspiration, confrontation, motivation and friendship that form our basis. we represent a new generation of mosaists. we believe in the future of craft. we respect tradition yet strive to innovate. we want to challenge, confront the normal, the accepted, the expected. we feel not limited to only one category. we work in architecture, restoration, design, on comission and in self-initiated projects. beauty is always our aim...>>.
We are 10 different (even geographically) people that are trying to keep alive these concepts with frequent expositions throughout Europe.
The last one, called Fractales, took place in Obernai (France) for the Biennale de la Mosaique and under the artistic direction of Gérard Brand.

You can see him and something about the exposition in this video: http://www.tvottrott.com/video.php?id=90
Hope you like it!

MY PSYCHEDELIC WORLD

2009-11-29T13:48:00.000-08:00

Today, after repeated attempts, I've managed to upload a personal video, a strange experiment made few months later...I know, it's quite flashy...and that's the reason why you have to see it! So, if you are curious you can find it here down on the right. But if you want the "psychedelic world" is originally posted here: www.youtube.com/user/pillanalberto.
Enjoy! ;)

BACK TO LEAVE

2009-11-29T13:03:00.000-08:00

Such a lot of time passed, I know that...but living life is quite demanding ;) and I had a lot of things to LIVE! Anyway...here I am...for new pictures and new news!
First of all I can reveal that next week I'll leave for INDIA! A month and a half trip! It will be...adventurous! ;D
In the meantime, I leave you with some pictures of this passed summer.

JUMP HERE AND THERE

2009-05-20T00:12:00.000-07:00

I'm so sorry for disappearing in this way, I actually have no time to be here on the net but I have some new pictures to share with you. I promise as soon as possibile.
Just a quick presence here to let you know about this exposition in my hometown: different artists with different art joined by this particular topic: fatal.
I'll be there with some new mosaics - of course. Then the other international artists will bring pictures, paintings, sculptures...
Anyone who will be in the neighbourhood is pleased to come for the opening: saturday 23 may at 6 pm at Spazio Espositivo "Plus, Oltre" Via E. Gasperi, 50. Latisana (UD) - Italy.
I'm so sorry for this italian-based leaflet and for people who don't understand my language. I hope to translate soon. In the meantime, have a nice day!
I think I'll do. Or, well, I'm sure I'll try to make it nice! ;D

DUST AND OLD WORKS

2009-03-30T10:11:00.000-07:00

In these days I've found some old pictures of my older works made during my period at mosaic school (Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli - Italy) and later...amazing and so funny period it was!
Well, here it is the column (in mosaic, obviously) made few years ago by some students, incleded me! and once finished, It has been given to the city of Spilimbergo, where the mosaic school is located.Very funny go there and still see this our huge stuff- really, it is! - full of colours and students' passion!
And honestly there must be passion in this job, just because without it it's hard to create stuff like that. Well, yes, it needs very very very VERY patience too! ;D and probably that's why I'm a mosaicist now! I've posted some new pictures in my flickr account. And I've found I have hundreds of stuff to show you.
Do you mind if...??!! ;)

SUNDAY ON WAVES

2009-03-09T10:29:00.000-07:00

Since almost a month I'm working at some old vintage furnitures and paintings to be redecorated...really an hard work! And I promise I'll tell you about...so, right now no mosaics to create. Anyway, here they are, few pictures of this week-end: my little beloved boat and a weak sun, but it feels so like spring is coming!
Have a nice new week!

ME, MYSELF AND THE LAB

2009-02-17T05:41:00.000-08:00

Already made the canonical presentations up here, so...that's the time for some pictures! I think that nothing is better than simply seeing, in particular because I'm not a focused communicator or stuff like that: but I'm trying to, and to show and share my things with other people, receive advises, thoughts, harsh criticisms (or even some congratulations!).
Well, having said that....you're welcome!
Hope you enjoy. I'm sure I'll do.
