Landscapes have always posed a challenge for artists. To the layman’s eye, the subject may seem pretty straightforward. You see gorgeous scenery and use your talent and art supplies to recreate it, whether with pen, charcoal, paint, camera, or mosaic tiles. Oh, but don’t forget to pour your soul into it! How? Well, that’s where the challenge is.
This fabulous piece showcases nature in all its glory. Vibrantly colored blooms and a sunny sky are all your interior needs to shine this year. Mosaic Mural Design by Mosaics Lab.
In general, there are three types of landscape art out there: impressionistic, representative, and abstract. This particular categorization was first established in the field of painted art, and it spread from there. Today, every landscape whether dry and withered, or lush and full of greenery, can be placed in one of these three categories.
Traditional interior with a twist will be all the rage this year and this gorgeous classical mosaic piece will be a perfect detail to fit that stylish narrative. Mosaic Tile Design by Mosaics Lab.
Impressionistic mosaic landscape is usually created with glass, as it tends to focus on accurate depictions of light. Mosaic impressionists prefer working with stained glass because the material allows them to manipulate light in all of its changing qualities. Furthermore, impressionist landscape usually revolves around open compositions seen from an unusual angle. The intricacy of the tile placement only intensifies the odd point of view, making the impressionist mosaic landscape one of the most challenging in mosaic art.
This charming mosaic reproduction of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Harvest at La Crau with Mont Majour in the background” was created by one of our renowned mosaicists, Lorenzo de Ross. Van Gogh is considered to be a post-impressionist, but his landscapes are characterized by key principles of impressionism, and Lorenzo De Rosso captured that marvelously.

Another mosaic gem was created by De Rosso. This one emphasizes the use of light and color, making this lovely landscape appear realistic in its execution, but dreamy in its perceptual quality. Mosaic Scenery Murals by Mosaics Lab.
The representational mosaic landscape is the one where you can almost smell the hay and run your hand through gentle fronds of fern. It is the most realistic-looking mosaic art landscape and as such it was the most sought-after these past couple of years. People were locked up inside and eager to have something real and natural indoors.
This vibrant “Summer Afternoon” mosaic artwork is a true masterpiece of the representational mosaic landscape. Angelo Fabbri freely played with rich greens and fresh blues to create this lazy summer afternoon. Differently colored tiny details just add to the overall realistic appearance of this beautiful mosaic. Contemporary Mosaic Design by Mosaics Lab.
This terrific piece by Lorenzo De Rosso is cleverly named “Neverending Peace of Mind”, as that is exactly what this serene landscape evokes. De Rosso used high-end glass tiles to create the impression of almost photogenic quality with this outstandingly refreshing scenery. The result is so realistic you can almost feel the water ripple and a slight breeze dancing through the trees. Mosaic Mural Artwork by Mosaics Lab.
Abstract mosaic art landscape is all about the atmosphere of the mosaic scenery and it is characterized by an obvious and deliberate departure from reality. Unconventional color schemes, bold details, and amplified shapes are what make abstract mosaic landscapes intriguing for both the mosaicist and the viewer.
This alluring abstract landscape was created by Angelo Fabbri and it is one of the most magnetic pieces in our catalog. It is named “Dual View” because, while you are certain that you are looking at a landscape, you are never certain of what type of landscape it is. It looks like both a steep and dangerous cliff, as well as a tumultuous, wavy sea. Mosaic Tile Artwork by Mosaics Lab.
This remarkable abstract mosaic piece is the work of our amazingly talented mosaicist Sara Stevenson. Brave usage of an autumnal color pallet combined with an engrossing point of view makes this piece a perfect study in the abstract. Mosaic Landscape Murals by Mosaics Lab.
Regardless of your preference, mosaic landscapes are the perfect artwork for every upcoming trend. As vastly different as some of them are, the undertone of all interior design trends this year will be sustainability, and there is nothing that inspires sustainability more than nature itself.
