I find that mosaics are both ultra-modern and at the same time guarantee a certain form of timelessness, since the first known works can be found as far back as 8000 years ago. The mosaic is so present in our culture, that through the ages it is almost like the red thread of history and civilizations.

It is therefore also the nobility of this art that motivated me.

The result goes beyond my expectations, not only does the work decorate our hotel, but today, the mosaics are perceived as a symbol both by their representation (the elephant of the island’s machines and the Akena logo, named after our franchisor) and by the fact that they are mosaics, whose nobility is no longer in question.
