When you first see one of Kevin Champeny’s mosaic artworks, the colors don’t just catch your eye; they draw you in. Each hue feels purposeful, rich, and alive. That’s because Kevin doesn’t rely on paint. Instead, he dyes every individual element during the resin casting process, ensuring deep, lasting color that enhances the overall emotional power of his pieces.
Unlike traditional methods, where color is applied after the form is built, Kevin’s process begins with color. By dyeing the resin before it’s cast, the color becomes embedded in the structure itself. This eliminates chipping, fading, or discoloration over time, and allows light to interact with the translucent elements, bringing a level of depth and vibrancy that paint simply can’t match.
This approach sets Kevin’s mosaic artwork apart, both visually and technically. It adds realism and texture, enhancing both close-up and distant viewing.
Kevin’s process is part science, part craftsmanship. Each sculpture starts with sculpted forms that are molded, then cast using polyurethane resin infused with carefully mixed dyes. This means every shade, from soft pinks to deep blues, is crafted with precision.
Thousands of these dyed elements are then sorted by tone before being meticulously arranged into large-scale mosaics. It’s a slow, deliberate process that ensures visual harmony across the entire artwork.
In Kevin’s world, color isn’t just aesthetic, it’s conceptual. His use of warm tones can symbolize life or decay, while cooler hues may evoke nostalgia or emotional distance. For example, in his mosaic art designs like What Remains, color plays a central role in conveying meaning.
This careful manipulation of color invites viewers to interact emotionally with the piece, making it a form of interactive art.
Kevin’s dyed resin pieces blend seamlessly with other materials like silicone, wood, or metal. This gives his work a tactile quality, reinforcing its place within the realm of mixed media art. The depth of color adds dimension to surfaces, especially in wall-based formats where light and shadow can dramatically shift perception.
Because of their unique use of dyed resin, Kevin’s pieces are especially popular in high-end mosaic home interiors. Whether it's for luxury residences, curated exhibitions, or statement walls in commercial spaces, his pieces offer a rare blend of fine craftsmanship and emotional storytelling.
Designers and collectors appreciate the vibrancy and lasting quality of Kevin’s mosaics, each carrying its own distinctive character.
