The presented work reflects a two-year process of searching for the ideal MEWA tile. It reconstructs the key material formulations I identified as breakthroughs, those that had a decisive impact on the development and final expression of MEWA.
The handcrafted nature of each individual tile highlights its unique character. Additional variations are intentionally embedded within the material's microstructure across all 32 elements.
Together, they form a cohesive and complete composition.

003 MEWA

material

 

All the tiles were handcrafted using a proprietary concrete ceramics technique I developed myself. The binder used for each individual Mewa tile is white Portland cement, which is characterised by its high strength. Its very high degree of whiteness makes it possible to achieve any colour for the tiles. The pigments used to colour the composite mixture are the highest quality, finely ground oxides of iron, chromium, cobalt and titanium. They are characterised by high colour uniformity and are resistant to weathering and UV radiation. 

An essential component of the composite mass in tile production is micro-aggregate, specially formulated by me from quartz sands with strictly defined physical and chemical parameters. Subjected to a special technological process, they allow for the regulation of the uniformity and porosity of the composite mass. 

When creating the correct composite formula for each tile, fine-grained additives and the latest-generation admixtures are used; thanks to their microscopic structure, these enable the production of a highly durable material with increased resistance to fire, water, chemical agents and abrasion. 

All stages of the technological process are designed and selected individually for each of my works.

 

The relief 003 MEWA was the face of the December edition of the Young Art Auction 2016 at DESA Unicum, appearing on the cover of the auction catalogue.
