Art of a Thousand Cuts

in mosaic, every piece matters. There is no excess.

Painterly Mosaic Comissions

Yolanda Bergman specializes in evocative mosaic portraits that transcend the medium. Known for her ability to capture the soul of her subjects, she translates emotion and expression into a 'painterly' glass narrative. By masterfully layering diverse tesserae—including Italian smalti, stained glass, filati, and hand-fused glass. Yolanda creates a rich, textural depth that brings movement and life to every custom commission.

  • Ojai Valley Artists Gallery, Bob McFall

    "Simple stated, Yolanda's glass mosiac art pieces are stunningly beautiful and amazing!  Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with a number of talented glass and mosiac artists; but Yolanda's work simple stands out as being among the best.   Her subject matter is always very interesting and often quite fun, but her magic happens in the execution of the work....remarkable details, shading that is unexpected in glass work, and attention to superior craftsmanship.  Yolanda's glass mosiacs are truly unique and a welcome addition to any quality art collection."

  • Judi Goldberg, Los Angeles

    “Acquiring one of her mosaic works was one of the best decisions I've made as a collector. The piece commands the room — the way light moves across the surface throughout the day makes it feel alive. It's not decorative art; it's transformative art.”

  • The New Zone Gallery, Eugene Oregon

    “I commissioned a custom mosaic for our family home, and the experience exceeded every expectation. Her ability to translate an abstract vision into something so precise and emotionally resonant is remarkable. The craftsmanship is simply extraordinary.”

  • Christian Riso Gallery, Kauai, HI

    “From the moment we installed her pieces, the response from our clientele was immediate and enthusiastic. Her work occupies a sophisticated space between fine art and ancient craft tradition — it resonates with serious collectors and first-time buyers alike.”
