How Kevin Champeny’s Mosaic Resin Art Is Built to Last

Kevin Champeny creates large scale mosaic sculptures made from thousands of hand cast miniature pieces. Each miniature is sculpted, molded, cast with polyurethane resin and dyed before being placed into the final artwork.

His approach blends craft, material science and artistic storytelling. The durability and vivid detail in his resin art comes directly from the materials he chooses and the careful way he handles them.

What Defines Resin Art and Sculptural Wall Artwork

Resin art refers to artwork made by casting or shaping resin into forms. In Kevin’s case, the resin is poured into silicone molds to create tiny individual elements that come together as a mosaic.

His work sits at the intersection of:


Traditional sculptures use stone, wood or metal. Kevin’s work relies on resin casting, which allows him to create highly detailed shapes that repeat precisely and hold color permanently.

Materials Used in Kevin’s Resin Casting Process

Every material in Kevin’s studio is chosen for stability and longevity. These include:

Polyurethane resin

Silicone molds

Polyurethane dyes

Silicone adhesive and cyanoacrylate glue

These materials work together to create durable, long lasting sculpture wall artwork that maintains its color and form.

Step by Step: How Resin Casting Works in Kevin’s Studio

Kevin follows a hands on process for every piece:

  1. Sculpting the original miniature
