Thirty seconds of shimmering glass—that’s all it took to tell a proud story. When iMIC unveiled their clip for the iMIC Mosaic Art campaign, the world caught a glimpse of something profound: a glass mosaic renaissance rooted deeply in Filipino craftsmanship.
🚀 A Bold Move to Keep Bisazza’s Legacy Alive
When Bisazza—a global icon in glass mosaic—signaled its diminishing presence in the Philippines, iMIC rose to the occasion. Armed with decades of experience under the iMIC Mosaic Art banner, the team took on a formidable challenge: learn the art of hand-cut glass mosaic, sustain its high-end appeal, and empower Filipino artisans to carry its torch. With veteran experts, creative designers, and local craftsmen, iMIC didn’t just preserve a tradition—they adapted it with Filipino flair, ensuring fast delivery, hundreds of mosaic color options, and installations backed by warranty .
🌏 Filipino Artistry, Global Impact
By mastering hand-cut glass mosaic, iMIC positioned Filipino craftsmanship on the world stage. From luxury hotels to bespoke interiors, their glass mosaic solutions now grace both local and international projects—each one a testament to Filipino skill and dedication .
✌️ “Ang Pagbabago”: Mosaic Mural at Luneta
Perhaps the most stirring testament to iMIC’s impact is in their collaboration with Joe Datuin, the first Filipino “Visual Olympian.” In 2008, Datuin’s stainless-steel sculpture “Dancing Rings” triumphed in the Olympic Sport & Art Contest . Following this, the National Parks Development Committee commissioned him to create a monumental replica for Luneta Park—integrating mosaic murals titled “Ang Pagbabago”, symbolizing Peace, Love, Unity, and Prosperity.
The murals, meticulously assembled using thousands of hand‑cut glass tiles, are more than art—they’re national symbols. They serve as enduring records of a nation’s optimism, captured through Filipino hands .
🎉 Celebrating Filipino Excellence
Today, when you glance at these iconic works—whether the “Dancing Rings” or the “Ang Pagbabago” murals—you see the result of a vision: a team at iMIC committed to preserving and elevating glass mosaic. They didn’t merely fill a void left by Bisazza’s retreat. They pushed boundaries—hand‑cutting each tile, training artisans, and ensuring Filipino glass mosaic stands tall in the global design .
This isn’t just mosaic art. It’s The Legacy of Filipino Mosaic Art. From corporate luxury to the symbolic heart of Luneta Park, iMIC and Joe Datuin prove that when tradition meets passion, it becomes a legacy that lasts.
