Aurora Mosaics

12 unforgettable days in Río Cuarto, Argentina, full of making, sharing, learning and new friendships. And a new mosaic.

The Fictional Mineral
Natural stone, ceramic and glass
2026

I imagined a mineral that doesn’t exist: part amber, part coal.

Both materials are deeply connected to Poland, where I grew up: amber from the Baltic coast, coal from the south. They come from very different landscapes and histories, but in my imagination they became one material.

The work is about what places leave behind in us, a fragment of somewhere, carrying traces of places I have known and still carry.

Made during the International Mosaic Symposium in Río Cuarto, Argentina, curated by Giulio Menossi, around the theme “Traces, Anthropological Sediments.”

Hola, I’m Agnieszka and I am a mosaic artist.

I work with natural stone, glass and marble, cutting and placing each piece by hand, one fragment at a time.
I didn’t get into mosaic because it’s easy or efficient.
It’s actually the opposite.

It’s slow, repetitive, and sometimes, frustrating. It takes a lot of patience and attention. And that’s exactly why I keep coming back to it.

I used to work in a world where everything was about speed, output, deadlines, and constant pressure. And at some point I realised… I don’t want my life to feel like that.

Mosaic gives me a different rhythm.
It forces me to slow down, to focus on one small piece at a time, to be present with what I’m doing.

It’s not polished or perfect. My pieces are made by hand, one fragment at a time, and you can feel that in them. That’s the whole point.

I’m not interested in the rat race anymore.
I’m interested in doing work I actually care about, in a way that feels calm, meaningful, and sustainable.

I want to create things that bring that feeling into people’s homes too, something that makes you pause for a second, breathe a bit deeper, and remember that not everything has to be rushed.

For more stories behind my mosaics and thoughts about slowing down, you can sign up for my newsletter, link in bio.

A couple of weeks of living and working here under Mont Serrat.
Slow mornings, shared meals, long conversations.

Until next time! # canserrat

It’s been almost two weeks since the Symposium, enough time for the dust and the feelings, to settle.
Here it is in reverse, from the finished landscape back to its beginnings:

The Road Within

This mosaic landscape reflects the quiet movement between memories, moments, and states of being. Fields and skies unfold in color, while a path suggests both departure and return.
Both idyll and transition, the landscape holds the gentle passage between worlds, carrying fragments of one home into another.
The journey turns inward, each fragment a step toward the stillness that lives beneath change. A meditation on belonging, loss, and the unspoken place we all carry within.
