Mosaic Artwork

Prints on Canvas
Nadalena began mosaic work at a very young age, inspired by generations of artisans and traditions of classic mosaic construction and design.
Nadalena brings modern artistry to the old science of mosaics.
Instead if using uniform, pre-cut, strait-edged pieces, Nada custom-cuts each piece to mimic the natural shape of her subject. She also uses many different colors of grout to seal the tile.
These techniques are much more arduous, time-consuming, and challenging, but you can see how well the labor pays off when you look at the 2,000 different pieces in Nadalena's Iris Diptych.
The intricate undulation of the stone pieces mirrors the circular shapes of the flowers. and use of the multicolored grouts integrates the tile and its background almost seamlessly. The effect is stunning.

"My paintings come from my daily life, they express my connection with the world around me."
I was born and raised in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Our home had view of beautiful coastal beaches. At that time I did not know that my fascination with sea would become a passion that I would strive to transfer to canvas.
Traveling to many places throughout Europe and the United States gave me the opportunity to understand and study the translucent world of sea, ocean, land and sky. Experiences such as sailing in the Pacific Ocean, swimming in the Adriatic Sea, kayaking in Idaho and backpacking in California have exposed me to the overwhelming beauty of nature. My intention as an artist is to share these visual and emotional experiences with others through my paintings and mosaics.

My favorite subject to paint are coastal scenes. historical architecture and landscapes. I lived all my life close to the sea and I have always been captivated by the power of the wind, sun and waves and constant energy that they create. This lifetime exposure to natural beauty is my inspiration.
I use every opportunity to observe, to understand and study landscape; I am constantly seeing potential paintings everywhere I look. I enjoy painting on location when possible and my goal is to deliver to the viewer the positive and uplifting feeling I experience.
I am usually working on three or four different paintings that are in various stages. Drawing is my first step when starting a new painting. If not painting on location I will take many photographs of the subject, then later merge the sketch and the photos as reference to create the final painting.

"Nada Radis-Cobbs has an incredibly detailed style of painting that captures your heart and mind.
The intense and vivid colors delight along her talented brush strokes as she precisely creates the destination. I have commissioned Nada twice.
Her first piece in Dubrovnik Croatia in Old Town is a photo come to life. The water and light actually dance as you walk around the painting and the stone castle walls hold strong the sounds of the world renowned icon along the Adriatic jewel. As a fan of this city, I knew Nada successfully created a masterpiece of her home country.
Nada is incredibly amazing to work with as an artist. Customizing the size and even features for me has been a wonderful experience. I learned so much about Nada and her talents beyond painting. She is worth investing in 100 percent. 15 years later, I reached out to Nada after she posted a series on brighter ocean waves. I saw hearts in her waves. She worked so incredibly hard on this piece sending me updates immediately.
Her perfect title: Ocean Soul to my hearts delight arrived for my birthday. I can’t speak enough about Nada and her talents.
Nada is created more than a painting, she created hope, love and joy."
