Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Fluttering golden wings, a butterfly alights on a black background in a magical design by Vanise Zemaa. She creates the delightful mosaic wall clock by patiently arranging ceramic tiles in the desired pattern. It runs on AA batteries. Artisan Info: "I was born in São Paulo, but came to Rio with my family when I was only six months old. I had a cheerful childhood. I was a Scout and participated in a variety of activities in direct contact with nature, camping and surfing with my friends. At the age of 21, I met the person who would become my mentor, Fátima Pepulim. With her I learned the technique of decorative painting and became interested in mosaic art. I had already taken a technical course in interior decoration and, when I became acquainted with the Atelier da Praia studio, I also took the leap into artistic creation. Mosaic represents a radical change for me. Through it I became a calmer and better concentrated person. It is like therapy, because it is an incredible exercise in patience. "Today I work with Fátima in the direction of the studio and have the opportunity to meet different people, some of whom even share my other passions ? capoeira and photography. "I am very happy about the possibility of offering my creations through Novica. It is the channel for promoting my work that I have sought for a long time."
