This panel captures Klimt’s late-portrait glamour: the half-hidden gaze, the theatrical sweep of the hat, and the sensuous mystery of the feathered boa lifting the face out of shadow. In smalti, the darks become alive rather than flat, with tiny shifts of black, charcoal, and midnight blue catching light like velvet and wet city streets. The flashes of cobalt and ember-orange heighten that feeling of nightlife and intimacy, where ornament is mood, not decoration.

An artistic smalti mosaic re interpretation of Gustav Klimt’s work by Valter Solari, Chef de Mosaique.
Mosaics Smalti (glass) are 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 - ideal for statement walls, niches, wet areas, and feature panels where you want colour, texture, and craftsmanship to feel unmistakably special.
