Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2023, 220cm x 200cm mosaic frescoes, high jewellery maison, Barcelona.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2023, 220cm x 200cm mosaic frescoes, high jewellery maison, Barcelona. Each tesserae is laid and glued one by one and cut on its 4 faces in a random pattern, following the straight line of the other tesserae at its 4 corners.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2023, 220cm x 200cm mosaic frescoes, high jewellery maison, Barcelona. This is a harmonious composition of edge and straight line that gives the creation a relief, an undulation, a curve that creates fluidity throughout the clouds.

Lines drawn in matte and shiny old gold tesserae run across the surface of the artwork – their starting point in the heart of the seven leaves, unfolding one by one in an aquatic undulation.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, January 2023, original mosaic fresco of 114cm x 174cm for a private residency in Cambodia with the interior designer Anaïs Gonfond. The nude, pink and white shades of the glass paste tesserae are laid down one by one like touches of paint, punctuated by an endless variation of flat areas of different materials: gloss, matte and shiny, creating depth and breathing.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, January 2023, original mosaic fresco of 114cm x 174cm for a private residency in Cambodia with the interior designer Anaïs Gonfond.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, January 2023, original creation of a picassiette style table for Petit H, diameter 130cm. A mosaic appears, composed of a myriad of points of all colours, touches of gold playing and catching the light thanks to the irregularity of the plate’s volume. These porcelain tesserae have been laid in a circular movement from the smallest tesserae in the heart to the largest at the edges.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, January 2023, original creation of a picassiette table style for Petit H, diameter 130cm.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, January 2023, original creation of a picassiette style table for Petit H, diameter 130cm. A heart made of gold tesserae that attracts the eye like a breath of fresh air, then these tesserae disappear little by little like pebbles thrown and sealed.

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2021, mosaic floor 30m2, private residence, Geneva. The jellyfish with its nebulous filamentary structure, almost cosmic, has imposed in this exceptional place moored to the lake, between sky and water. The choice of marble to represent this fluidity is part of Mathilde Jonquière’s project, of her research to transcend the material, to turn it upside down.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2021, mosaic floor 30m2, private residence, Geneva. Between dynamism and surrender, between curves, lines and fluidity, between empty and full, the tentacles of the jellyfish gracefully spread out in the space of the villa’s entrance and evoke harmony and serenity for the reception of this exceptional setting imagined by the decorator Nathalie Sommer.
Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, September 2021, mosaic floor 30m2, private residence, Geneva. The still marble, rigid and hard as stone, suddenly comes alive in this drawing, is adorned with light, starts to undulate and declines the different colors of the rising sun.

Mindful of the marine world and of Jean Lurçat’s tapestries, the client submitted the idea of jellyfish and Mathilde Jonquière of birds flying out of their garden. A fluidity arises from these two unlikely worlds, the parasols of the jellyfish in pearly tesserae inflate and deflate transparent and light. © photo Olivier Saillant

Mathilde Jonquière, mosaic artist, july 2019, Effloraison fresco, Jacques Semer store, Paris. This new mosaic takes birth in the floral landskape sharing by Jacques Semer and Mathilde Jonquière that chooses the essence of the buttercup for its delicacy, elegance and its shades of soft pink.

From the entrance, the eyes get into beautiful organic shades of two marble pieces in pink, beige and cream white colors, then meet the fresco and its tale, as a true call for dreaming.

This chromatic polyphony of aquatic and mineral tones (Antigua, Cipollino, Laguna and Ming) inspired Mathilde Jonquière a mosaic suffused with fluctuations, ideal for displaying shadings expressing sheer fluidity.
The piece echoes with the modulations and convolutions of the mosaic, and includes the tiny structure of the tessera, revealing in all its details the emotions of a 1000 color-pattern.
