"Holy Mary's Silent Contemplation" Mosaic - Original
Artist: Kevin Pawlowski (Texas US, 1968- )
Title: Holy Mary’s Silent Contemplation
Medium: Stained glass mosaic on board
Date: 2025
Holy Mary's Contemplation is a 7"x7" original stained glass mosaic by Kevin Pawlowski of Paradise Found Studio. This intimate piece is a study in technique and devotion, where Kevin explores the intersection of traditional oil painting and stained glass mosaic. Inspired by a detail from Young Virgin Mary by Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato, the work captures a quiet, prayerful moment—Mary’s serene expression rendered in carefully selected glass that mimics the softness and subtle tonal shifts of classical portraiture.
In this mosaic, Kevin applies painterly principles to glasswork, using variations in opacity, color, and cut to evoke the tenderness and stillness found in Renaissance religious art. Each shard of glass is placed with intention, echoing brushstrokes that shape light rather than pigment. Holy Mary's Contemplation invites viewers into a moment of spiritual reflection and artistic experimentation, merging centuries-old inspiration with a contemporary artist’s touch.
This is a one-of-a-kind work of art is available for purchase. It is 7”wide by 7” high with an unfinshed edge, so it will need to be framed.
