Mozaici s druge strane univerzuma su stigli na zemlju Mozaici, drevna umetnička antička forma stara hiljadama godina, sačuvali su priče o mitskim herojima, njihovim slabostima i vrlinama, a najviše o njihovim stremljenjima i snazi volje, u beskonačnoj borbi protiv zla Opstali su, u skoro neuništivom kamenu, noseći antičku svetlucavost do današnjih dana do savremenog doba, u kome se sve više rađa, jača i razvija, ljudska sebičnost, površnosti, konfuzija i strah Mnogi od drevnih heroja su zaboravljeni u magli vremena, međutim, njihovi podvizi ostali su zabeleženi zauvek u ljudskoj podsvesti i iz nje su se ponovo rodili novi heroji! Da nastave da nose baklju najuzvišenijih ljudskih vrlina! Heroji savremene mitologije Čija je misija sizifofska, čija su dela prometejska, a sudbina, večni pohod, da se i u najmračnijoj tami pronađe svetlost, da pomognu čoveku , da ga uzdignu, podstaknu na dobro, i usmere na pravi put! I zato treba da ostanu zauvek upamćeni, u neuništivoj snazi kamena, u mozaicima.

“Mosaics From Another Universe” arrive to us in this world of mosaics, where an ancient art form from thousands of years ago, through its search of upholding and sheltering stories and myths of heroes – their strengths, weaknesses, most prominently their willpower in the everlasting fight against evil – has kept as one of the oldest artforms. Made from an almost indestructable stone, carrying the ancient vitality through the contemporary period in which new things are constantly evolving, developing faster, with growing hubris, superficiality, confusion and fear; many ancient heroes have been forgotten in the fog of time. However, their feats have marked time itself in the light of mankind’s subconscious, where new heroes have spawned! To carry on the torch of the highest human virtues! Heroes of modern mythology, whose mission is seemingly futile, yet, whose works are promethean and their fate – nay, journey – even in the darkest times finds light in order to help the modern man, to enlighten him on to that which is good and guide him through the path of righteousness! That is why heroes are sacred, eternalized through the strength of stone, through the strength of a mosaic.
