Kevin Champeny isn’t just a mosaic artist—he’s a storyteller, sculptor, and master of perception. His mosaic art designs are built not from tiles or brushstrokes, but from thousands of hand-cast resin miniatures. These sculptures come together to form larger images that shift in meaning depending on how close you are and what you bring to the experience as a viewer.
From afar, his works appear as cohesive, impactful images. Step closer, and the picture dissolves into a sea of individually crafted objects—roses, coins, gummy bears, or skulls. This dual experience is no accident. It’s part of what makes Kevin’s art feel alive.
At first glance, Kevin’s pieces look like traditional images. But when you get closer, you discover that each one is actually made of thousands of sculpted resin elements. This creates what feels like a sculpture on the wall—both a picture and a physical experience.
Take What Remains, for example: from across the room, it’s a human skull. But as you move in, you realize it’s entirely made of delicate, hand-cast flowers. The skull emerges only when you pull back. This relationship between viewer and artwork is at the heart of Kevin’s creative approach.
His art doesn’t sit passively on the wall. It responds to you.
Unlike artists who explain every detail of their work, Kevin Champeny leaves interpretation in the hands of the viewer.
“If I tell you what it means, I’ve already directed your mind,” Kevin often says.
That’s why each piece becomes an interactive art experience—not because it’s digital or motion-triggered, but because your presence changes what the artwork is. Your interpretation isn’t just allowed; it’s required. In this way, the viewer becomes part of the piece.
Kevin’s art invites emotion. Whether it’s joy, nostalgia, discomfort, or reflection, the meaning of a piece is shaped as much by the viewer’s past as by the artist’s intention.
His Defiance mosaic—built from thousands of sculpted elements—portrays a figure who triggers vastly different emotional reactions depending on the viewer’s worldview. To some, it’s defiant and bold. To others, it’s confrontational or even satirical. That’s the power of mosaic storytelling—the artwork carries multiple meanings, each one unlocked by the person standing in front of it.
Kevin also creates personalized mosaic portraits on commission. These custom pieces capture not only a subject’s image but layers of symbolism and meaning that reflect their story—told through thousands of sculpted components.
Unlike many decorative pieces that are understood in a glance, Kevin’s contemporary wall art asks for time. The more you look, the more you discover. And what you see one day might be different the next, depending on where you stand or how you feel.
This makes his work especially appealing to collectors, institutions, and designers who want art that engages over time—not just something beautiful, but something that stays alive in the viewer’s mind.
Kevin’s mosaics offer new meaning with every viewing, which makes owning one feel like an ongoing dialogue rather than a static image.
From far away, Kevin’s work shows a complete image. Up close, it reveals thousands of individual sculpted elements. Both perspectives are essential to the experience.
Kevin’s pieces combine sculpture, narrative, and visual art into one. They’re more than just sculpture on the wall—they’re interactive, emotional experiences that grow with the viewer.

Kevin Champeny’s mosaic art designs challenge traditional ideas of what art should be. They’re not just beautiful—they’re perceptual, emotional, and deeply personal.
Whether viewed from across a gallery or inches from the surface, each piece invites the viewer into a relationship that evolves over time. His art doesn’t just decorate a wall—it asks you to participate, reflect, and feel.
