My ultimate goal is to awaken our inherent love of art and the power it has to create by itself something tangible yet spiritual. A force being able to create a paradigm shift towards a positive direction.

Diana Donici - Donart workshop came out of passion, the main ingredient for every succesfull activity. For us, the mosaic is the most fascinating part of all plastic arts: first of all, for its unicity and complexity, then for its resistance in time and never getting old-fashioned. And the last but not the least, for the huge passion that comes out of the mosaic artist during dozens or even hundreds of hours of work for a single project. At Donart workshop, we mainly use colored glass for making mosaics, for its proved higher standards compared to ceramic. For sacred themes, such as icons and mural mosaics, we insert pure gold, most of it of 24K. We are specialised in sacred mosaic, but we are glad to work any artistic theme. We invite you to check our gallery, the blog, and also the updated Facebook profile and page:
