Mosaic means “mosaique” in French, “mosaico” in Italian, and “musivum” in Latin, literally, dedicated to the muses. There is so much sensuality, beauty and grace in this word. A mosaic is a pattern laid out on different surfaces (walls, floor, ceiling). The material of the mosaic is ceramics and glass, as well as wood, simple stones, smalt, etc.
