ROGER THOMAS

COLLECTION

{ Designed by Roger Thomas }

“The enchantment and mystery of Micromosaic caught my

attention as a very young man and I have always searched

for and devoured every example I could find in museum

collections and Antique galleries. The romance of the Grand

Tour is most beautifully captured by the Micro-mosaic jewelry,

furniture and moments of the era. This noble, rare and

demanding material offers unlimited colors, extraordinary

detail and the permanency of stone. I have been excited

by the invitation from SICIS to utilize this historic media in

an entirely new and original way exploring sculptural and

pictorial possibilities-never before seen or considered and

elevating its value to be the equal of precious stones and

the finest art. The history of jewels and of the decorative

arts during the fluorescence of Micromosaics in the Era

of the Grand Tour have provided my inspiration. Intarsia,

Ormolu, Fashion and Crown Jewels, Miessen Porcelain,

and Chinese silks have all been referenced in the colorful,

playful and elegant designs of my Collections for SICIS. I am

confident that the art of Micromosaic will find a renaissance

in the hands of the talented Artist Masters of the SICIS Studio”.
