"A teacher can change a life," proclaims Maria Giassi. This is what happened to Maria who went to visit the Mosaic School of Friuli in Spilimbergo on a field trip with her high school. It had been a suggestion by one of her teachers, and Maria was fascinated by the discovery. She decided in that moment that mosaics would be her future. After graduating, she went on to gain experience and improve her skills in Italy and abroad, and learned to develop her personal style using the paper-face reverse and direct techniques. In 2015, Maria created her own company and opened her workshop in Milan. To her, every customised work is a special journey in which she delights in creating an artwork that will suit its intended environment to perfection.
