ZAFAR Mosaica · the seven cycles

Seven cycles. Rendered, not promised.

Each cycle is a figure, not a field — held to the master rails: one light source, form out of smoke, gold ground as light itself. The seven heroes below are original works, generated in-studio. Every composition in a cycle — eleven to a cycle, seventy-seven in all — can be commissioned and tuned to your wall: scale, palette, motif.
