One of the Swedish member Louise Nermina Samuelsson and Mercedes Murat has written a book together. The title of the book is “ Ett konstigt äventyr”. Mercedes has painted the drawings in the book.
Mercedes Murat is an international recognized artist, born in Sweden in 1981. Her unique artwork and innovative techniques have established her as a prominent voice in contemporary art. With passion for creating artistic furniture and sculptures, Mercedes is also one of the few
artists in the world who has mastered the rare technique verre églomisé. This method involves reversed painting on transparent glass, where she uses precious metals such as 24k gold, white gold and mother of pearl to gives the work golden reflections.
Her artworks, which often focus on female portraits, capture the viewer's interest with their profound beauty and the powerful contrasts offered by the precious metals. The unique technique of working on the back of glass gives the subjects a dynamic and fascinating quality. The style has a clear connection to Art Deco from the 1920s, but with a modern twist that gives her work a unique position in the contemporary art scene. Mercedes furniture art is equally impressive and original. She combines an eclectic mix of art, fabrics, and colors to create unique pieces that bring her vision of dream furniture to life. Each piece of furniture is meticulously crafted using a range of gilding, painting and upholstery techniques, inspired by the elegant Rococo style.
With a solid background in traditional craft techniques and crafts from her studies in both Sweden and England, Mercedes has been a professional artist since 2013. During this time, she has built up an impressive portfolio, with exhibitions in prestigious venues around the
world, including Qatar, Milan, Florence, Atlanta, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Helsinki, Oslo and Sweden where she operates.
