Try this out - click on each individual tile, to be surprised by what the stand-alone painting depicts and how, seen from a distance, it provides the visual element that is needed in the jigsaw at that spot. You need a special kind of vision to create such mosaics - the ability to look at something that is complete in itself from afar and see it differently, as part of a bigger whole. A lesson worth re-learning every time you come across something like this.

Perspective
A friend sent me this link earlier today and at first I was not so tempted to go there (OK, mural mosaics, seen that before). Later, as I went there and browsed through the site, I was impressed by the detail and the combination of detail in perspective. I found many other mural mosaics at the site, and was amazed not only by the work of each individual artist but the eye behind each mosaic. Worthy of special mention is Le Cadeau du Cheval especially if you like horses as a subject or theme for painting or sculpture - or even just like horses per se. I was reminded, once again, as to how big pictures can be formed by smaller ones that don't, at first glance, seem to fit.
