Rhinestones, Crystals and Mirrors: Susan Drammen's Glittering Mosaic

Susan Drummen is an artist from the Netherlands who decorates her surroundings with crystals, mirror pieces, rhinestones, glass shards, crystal and chrome-plated metal. The girl creates huge ornaments on the floor, walls, ceiling and even on the facades of various buildings.

The sparkling kaleidoscopes deserve special attention. It feels as if they are painted on a stone floor, although from a distance they look like flat and orderly patterns. Susan has a sympathy for various kinds of optical illusions, so she often uses interesting effects in her works.



The craftsmen's creations cause delight and admiration among the visitors of her installations. When the lighting changes and from different angles, precious stones, rhinestones, glass and other elements begin to sparkle and sparkle, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. All elements of the improvised mosaic seem to be filled with the energy of life.

Some of the artist's compositions look like huge sacred mandala patterns that are laid out right under your feet. The association with the mandala arises naturally. The craftswoman collects technically complex and intricate ornaments by hand. They, like oriental symbols, will not withstand external influences: careless human movement or a strong gust of wind. But this is the idea and the main message that Susan is broadcasting. The girl demonstrates to people how fragile, delicate and unstable beauty and harmony are in the modern world.



The girl thinks over her compositions to the smallest detail. Every shiny element lies exactly where it should lie. There is no place for randomness in Drammen sculptures.

Susan's installations have been exhibited dozens of times at exhibitions in the Netherlands, Poland, Japan, Germany, India, China and the United Arab Emirates.
