(Gold Coast, Australia) "“ A 55 square meter mosaic waterfall adorning a poolside wall of the Gold Coast's most luxurious hotel has been restored, thanks to the efforts of burgeoning local artist Mauricio Aybar Margotta. Margotta spent two months meticulously reconstructing nearly 30 square meters of the expansive waterfall, using thousands of polished pebbles from specialized stores to restore the 15-year-old art to its former beauty.
"I am so grateful to have this opportunity," said Margotta. "The mosaic is symbolic of the Palazzo Versace's luxurious beauty and I am proud to have worked with them on this restoration."
Margotta is the founder of Maurimosaic, a tiling and mosaic company located on Australia's Gold Coast.
