Patrizia Brasch is a conceptual mosaic artist, living and working in Toronto. She works with different types of materials and uses their colours, textures, reflection, and transparencies to convey a message or express any of the wide range of emotions and sensitivities we experience as human beings. As a result, her mosaics come with their own narrative to tell their unique story.

Patrizia’s mosaics have been shown in juried exhibits and galleries in Canada, the US, Italy, and Germany. Her work is in private collections across Canada, the United States, Eurpose.

Patrizia is a member of Ontario Mosaic Artists, Mosaic Artists of Canada, Society of American Mosaic Artists, Contemporary Mosaic Art, Fusion: Ontario Clay & Glass Association, and a board member of Artists' Network.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

The underlying intent of my art is to expound an idea or concept, to convey a message, to explore the wide range of emotions and sensitivities we experience as human beings. As a result, each of my mosaics has its own unique narrative.

Equally important in my mosaic practice is upcycling - taking what we consider worthless or useless and transforming it into something useful. I combine scavenged corroded metal, considered worthless and ugly, and pair it with precious and semi-precious materials to offer these “worthless” materials a new life and purpose.
