Mosaic decoration spread widely thanks to examples set by the ancient world. At first, the ancient Greeks used it to adorn floors. Later, when the practice moved from floors to walls, artists created much richer and more refined representations. A mystical figurative language emerged and became known as Byzantine mosaic. There, mosaic was adopted by Byzantine art, where the rules of fashion and taste aimed to delight the imperial court and to seek initiations into religious mysteries. People said mosaics could lift the believer from the earthly world to the heavenly one. This outlook toward transcendence appeared in mosaic and tile painting used to ornament walls, vaults, and interiors. Starting from the tradition of azulejos — the ceramic tiles from Portugal — this collection fuses heritage with contemporary expression. Its beginnings date to the 15th century, with tile-panel mosaics drawn from the Moorish tradition and earlier Persian sources.
This origin explains the strong Arabic influence in many painted tiles: the interlacing curves, geometry, and floral motifs. Each feature tells a story. They evoke vibrant colors and timeless motifs that have adorned historic monuments for centuries.
