The Fishbone mosaic takes inspiration from an element present in the Asaroton of Aquileia preserved in the Archaeological Museum.
Our interpretation of the Fish Bone wants to enhance the blue, symbol of the sea. The alternation of the blue tiles, obtained from the more saturated veins of the Azul Macaubas Marble, and the blue tiles of the Bahia Blue Marble create a compact surface rich in colour.
The spines, in Giallo Siena Marble, are delicate and thanks to the maternity of this marble they have an almost translucent visual effect.
We created a wet effect by adding reflections on the lower part of the fish's head by inserting Cogolo (extremely white material that can only be found in some points of the streams between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto).
The look is dull, glossy, exactly as that of a fish would have been on the table of an ancient Roman domus.
The workmanship in Opus Vermiculatum is very fine and accurate, the gaps between the tiles are neutralized to have an excellent visual rendering of the subject even when observed from very close up.
Everything is perfectly balanced and in harmony.
The choice of the Classic Travertine Marble Frame is designed to blend in with the Rosé Trani background so that the grape core stands out in all its splendor.
The design of the frame is also particular, the two holes on the back will allow you to hang the picture on the wall without creating thicknesses between the picture and the wall (just insert two Fishers on the wall taking into account the distance of the holes on the frame).
We recommend not hanging the painting on plasterboard walls.
