Saimir Strati (born 1966) is an Albanian mosaic artist. Strati was born in Tirana, Albania. He began his career doing restorations in Albania to several mosaics at the archeological sites of Byllis, Amantia and Apollonia. He is a member of the British Association of Modern Mosaic. ==Artworks== Strati is primarily a mosaic artist but is also a painter. He has used a variety of materials including from toothpicks to eggshells, compact discs and porcelain.〔(About ), Saimirstrati.al〕 Strati is heavily inspired by music, and in the mosaic series 'The Four Seasons' based on the Vivaldi concerto, each season is represented by a different musical instrument. This series was created over the course of more than five years. Another work on oil depicts traditional Albanian Polyphonic singers. 'The King' is a portrait of Elvis Presley measuring nearly 2 metres in height and uses over 400 CD's. His work 'Sea Girl' is based on a legend from Vlora, his hometown. The story is about a young woman separated from her lover. She prays to become a fish to cross the sea to reunite with him. The artwork itself is made from sea glass which took the artist several years to collect. 'Peace' is a quintessential work of the artist, where the mirror fragments used in the mosaic reflects the message of our relation to peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saimir Strati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
