You weren’t made to stay quiet.
This original mosaic marks the moment you stop playing nice—and start being real. It's that turning point when you find your voice. Maybe it’s a little rusty. Maybe it doesn’t follow the lines others expect. But it’s yours.

No more shrinking to keep the peace. No more changing your colors and losing yourself to blend in. This piece stands for owning your truth—grit, grace, and all.

‘Don’t Try to Be Nice, Be Real’ is a bold visual reminder: your voice matters, even when it’s offbeat. Maybe especially when it’s offbeat. Because it makes this world a much more exciting place.

Comes in a custom wooden floating frame, ready to hang.
Exquisite smalti glass from Venice (Italy) on thinset over wood.
Includes a signed certificate of authenticity.
For indoor use only, dry spaces.

Behind the Collection

I didn't grow up making art - but life had other plans. When I found mosaics, it felt like I was stitching something back together in myself.

Every piece begins with a question, a feeling, or a truth that won't leave me alone.

This collections comes from moments like that - turning points where I needed to be honest with myself. If one of these speaks to something in you, that's not an accident. That's the power of art.

Suze

"Your eye for colours and shapes is exquisite. What a beautiful pattern!"
