Mosaic Artist and Designer

Vera Belikova

Vera is a mosaic artist and designer trained in Spilimbergo and based in Venice. She specialises in handcrafted mosaics, faithfully made using ancient manufacturing techniques and integrated with new digital production technologies.

Her mosaic is an added value at the service of the final result. It is a harmonious dialogue with traditional architectural spaces or a balanced integration in a design object. Vera also collaborates on terrazzo creations with mosaic inserts, adapting and reinterpreting traditional crafts in a modern context to give them new forms and relevance in today’s world.

Her mosaic solutions are essential decorations that enhance the movement of the mosaic tiles, the color of natural and artificial materials, and the light that reflects off the surface, creating unique shadow effects. 

In her works of art, Vera explores the themes of time, memory, and belonging.
