Lilian Broca is a Vancouver Artist who has worked using many different medium, but is now renowned for her mosaic art, particularly the "Queen Esther Mosaic Series" done in Byzantium style, inspired by the mosaic art she viewed in cathedrals when growing up in Romania.
I understand that there are about 10 mosaics making up the series, relating significant moments in the story from the book of "Esther" in the Bible Visit Ms. Broca's website to read her artist's statement about these works and to view pictures of the stages of the creation process.
Here are a few pictures of sections of the Queen Esther Mosaics taken from her website:
Queen Esther revealing her true identify
Queen Esther with Mordechai
Haman
The mosaics are spectacular, the glass glitters as you move beside them. Very difficult to photograph. Ms. Broca is now working on a new series of mosaics about "Judith", a powerful, assertive woman from biblical times. The Queen Esther Mosaics are expected to go on tour to Romania.
