Brian True, also known as, Pennilessglass on Etsy, has created some incredible works of art that are nothing short of masterpieces. Each piece of the mosaic was deliberately and painstakingly placed to create a clear image. Brian created a detailed portrait of a person up close in his mosaic, For Days. It’s so precise you could see the individual eyelashes. Brian True’s mosaic scene called 6 looks like a simple image at first of a young boy in a tire swing, but upon closer inspection, you’ll see a boat and airplane in the tree, creating a great deal of interest. 5 is a portrait of a man smoking a cigarette. That doesn’t sound too complicated for a person who masterfully created a picture of a person in For Days, but in 5, the man with the cigarette is viewed through a window and is slightly obscured by the rail of the window. 7 is a mosaic of a boy fishing, but the fish on the line is giant! 7 uses beautiful blues for the water, and the fish looks like it could easily swallow the kid whole. If you like mosaics or are in the market for a portrait, let Brian True know on Etsy because his mosaics are true works of art by a master artisan!
