Yukiko Nagai

Yukiko Nagai is a Japanese mosaic artist active in Italy. She has a consistent concept of "replacing various materials with mosaics," recreating the surfaces of different materials such as fabric and wood using mosaic techniques to create visual illusions. Her works appear visually consistent between the material and the mosaic, yet they provide viewers with surprise and enjoyment through the discomfort felt when touched. This unique approach adds a special charm to her creations.

Nagai's main works combine mosaic tiles with antique furniture, and all production processes are based on traditional Ravenna techniques. From selecting stones and glass to forming parts, constructing mosaics, and final finishing, everything is done by hand. As a result, each of her works is one-of-a-kind, and since the antique furniture used is also fundamentally unique, her pieces are singular in existence.
Yukiko Nagai's art not only offers visual beauty but also brings surprises through texture and touch, showcasing her originality and creativity.
