WELCOME
JOSHUA WINER, ARTIST
I’m an artist specializing in the creation of commissioned mosaics, painted murals, and ceramic murals for architectural settings. My artistic practice celebrates history, community and beauty.
I work collaboratively with every client and community, creating an original work of art.
I’d be delighted to talk with you about your ideas for a new project.
CERAMIC MOSAIC MURAL
ASPIRE
‘Aspire’ celebrates the transcendental experience of nature as
we gaze upwards from the dark forest floor through tall pine branches into the golden canopy of the sun. I designed and created this mosaic from handmade ceramic tiles
for a new theater lobby.
ARCHITECTURAL MURAL FACADE
The Newbury Street Mural
‘The Newbury Street Mural’, in Boston’s historic Back-Bay, is a monumental painted mural in the trompe l’oeil style
(French for ‘fool-the-eye’) creating the illusion of ornamental nineteenth century architecture in the Arts District.
CERAMIC MOSAIC SCHOOL MURAL
Journey Through
the Seasons
‘Journey Through the Seasons’ celebrates the cycle and joys of New England’s four seasons. I created this ceramic mosaic mural for The Meadowbrook School’s new Learning Center. The artwork transforms the stair hall into a work of immersive environmental art, filled with the flora and fauna in the school’s varied habitats.
HOW INSPIRING IS THIS PLACE
SYNAGOGUE MOSAIC
The tradition of creating mosaic mural decoration on the walls and ceilings of religious buildings is age old.I continue this
tradition with contemporary mosaics, often working with the community to include handmade tiles.. I have worked with many religious denominations, and have created artwork in synagogues, churches, and Buddhist temples.
HAUTES ALPS, FRANCE
CHATEAU
DE PICOMTAL
Preservation and restoration of historical mosaics and murals allows us to cherish the magnificent works from the past
while extending their legacy into the future. I worked with
Chateau de Picomtal for a decade, restoring century old
building decoration and also creating new decoration in French historical styles using local materials and methods.
SUAN PRUNG PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, THAILAND
The Lotus Blossom Mosaic
The United States Department of State commissioned me to create this ceramic mural in the outdoor courtyard of the Suan Prung Psychiatric Hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I worked with the patients, nurses, State Department staff and an international group of volunteers. The lotus blossom is a transformative symbol for growth, emerging from darkness and blossoming in the sun.
