Butterflies and stone mosaic paintings by Dario Sogmaister

News | giovedì, 24 febbraio, 2022

The works by Dario Sogmaister come to life from a sketch in which he outlines the subject he is going to create; following these outline lines of the wooden guides and superimposing them on the sketch, then he fills the spaces between one guide and the other with mortar. While the base is still fresh, he inserts the small fragments of stone that make up the mosaic: every single piece is crushed from the stone with the hammer and shaped with the pincer.

He then makes the part of the mosaic just made flat by beating a wooden level with the hammer to avoid imperfections and then prepares a new section of the work. When the work is complete it is fixed on a rigid support and, depending on the needs, can be inserted into a recess in the wall or placed inside a wooden or wrought iron frame; sometimes he realizes the work directly inside stones or wood that he himself has first modeled internally.
