The artist

Lilian Fäustle was born in Hamburg, Germany, but grew up in Holland. For the past ten years she has been living and working in Amsterdam.

Coming from an artist family of painters, dancers and musicians, art has always been an integral part of her upbringing. Initially she chose Communication Studies over art school; however she has always continued to paint, draw and developed a strong interest in interior design, furniture restoration and upholstering chairs with radiant colours and unusual fabrics.

During a visit to Portugal, Lilian was grasped by the almost unlimited possibilities of mosaics and tiles.

"It is the aspect of applied art, the combination of usefulness and beauty which makes this medium so fascinating. Art for me should not only be delightful but also practical and durable."

The artist's designs are inspired by ornamental art from both the east and the west, delicately combining and often fusing different styles like Moorish, Asian, Persian, Classical Italian and Art Deco, just to name a few. Since 2002 Lilian has committed herself to teaching and running numerous workshops at S-tiles, a School for Mosaic Art in Amsterdam. Since 2004 she also teaches is Germany and has followed courses in Ravenna, Italy, to broaden her knowledge of classic Italian glass mosaics.
