The Kiss (1907-08)
This panel celebrates Klimt’s most iconic balance of intimacy and ornament: two faces pressed together, held inside a field of gold that feels both sacred and sensual. The smalti treatment intensifies the original’s jewel-like logic, turning the patterned cloak into a luminous patchwork of golds, ivories, and deep accents that shift as you move past it. The spirals and gilded atmosphere are translated into a surface that glows rather than shines, giving the piece a timeless, devotional presence.

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