Klaus Joehle author and artist was born in 1957 in the Black Forest Germany.
Klaus Joehle’s passion for Mosaics began when he was 6 years of age while on a trip to Spain with his parents. The little square marble pieces reminded him of the legos he loved to play with. Some 45 years later Klaus Joehle’s Mosaic Masterpieces, Company Logos, Stone Carpets marble table inlays and’ mosaics for swimming pools...can be found throughout the world.
Klaus has several methods of creating Mosaics one stands out above all. Once you have seen one you will instantly recognize another. Klaus is the creator of cutting marble, granite and tile into slices as small as 1/16, thinner then a credit card. Klaus places by hand 5000 to 8000 of these pieces per square foot on a canvas and the result is Un-Matched. These Masterpieces vanish rather quickly to private collectors, sometimes even before the glue is dry “says Klaus”
The time and labor intensity creates a limited quantity available to collectors.
Klaus’s mosaics show his adventurous side although he prefers wildlife. He often Ventures into other areas, depicting images difficult to achieve with stone, always pushing the boundaries of what was possible and developing new techniques. His biggest challenge was to depict an emotional intensity, much more difficult to achieve with stone then with any other medium, if you ask Klaus, if he feels that he has achieved an expected degree of emotions in his wild life and scenery he smiles and points “it only took 30 years not too bad he responds”,
Now I want emotions and movement without depicting movement or better said I want a
Heartbeat. Always more always more, if I did not do other things in between it would drive me crazy. Klaus newest approach, Mosaic for visually challenged, is as amazing to touch, as it is to see, it is truly memorizing to be able to touch and feel and experience the sensation of these beautiful Mosaics.
