Two Women (c. 1917-18) is a Two Women smalti mosaic that draws out the tenderness and complexity of Klimt’s late figurative work: an embrace that feels protective, intimate and slightly enigmatic. The mosaic amplifies the contrast between soft skin tones and the richly patterned textile language Klimt loved, turning every motif into a tactile surface you can almost feel. Warm rose and gold tesserae build a glowing atmosphere around the figures, while the stylised birds and ornamental elements keep the scene suspended between portrait and dream.

An artistic smalti mosaic re-interpretation of Gustav Klimt’s work by Valter Solari, Chef de Mosaïque.

The Paris Ceramics smalti glass collection brings together handcrafted glass mosaics made from richly pigmented smalti, cut and placed piece by piece to create depth, movement and a distinctive light-reflecting surface. Each design is built with an artisanal, old-world sensibility, suited to decorative settings where colour, texture and craftsmanship should feel considered and rare.

Two Women Smalti Mosaic in Glass

The Two Women smalti mosaic has a softer, more intimate energy than some of the collection’s more overtly golden works. The closeness of the figures, the patterned garments and the surrounding floral colour create a layered surface where affection, concealment and ornament all become part of the same visual language.

As a Gustav Klimt glass mosaic, the image becomes physical through smalti. Each tessera catches the light differently, allowing the composition to shift between painterly softness and jewel-like material presence. For other image-led decorative surfaces, explore the wider artisan mosaic collection. The Two Women smalti mosaic is a hand-cut smalti panel for interiors where warmth, narrative and decorative craft need to sit quietly but unmistakably at the centre of the space.
