The Lowdown

Hidden in the artistic heart of Jeżyce, ARDEA Mosaic Factory is one of Poland’s only mosaic factories—and trust us, it’s a game-changer. Poznań Daily had the chance to step inside their workshop, and what we saw left us speechless. From intricate classical designs to hyper-detailed portraits that look like actual photographs, this family-run business is turning stone and glass into pure artistry.

The Founder

Founded by Piotr Czapracki, an artist with an unmatched eye for detail, ARDEA has become the go-to spot for those looking to transform their walls into something extraordinary. Whether it’s a massive floor mosaic, a custom logo for a business, or a portrait of a loved one recreated piece by piece, their work is next-level craftsmanship.

Piotr Czapracki is a graduate of the Poznań Academy of Fine Arts. His works have been awarded four times in a row by American critics, and the prestigious magazine “Mosaic Art Now” recognized him as one of the ten best mosaists in the world.

Tiny Tiles

We met with Edyta, who brought us up to speed on what they do. “People often bring us photos—of family members, pets, even their favorite landscapes. We take that image and build it out of thousands of tiny tiles, creating something that lasts forever,” she explained. And she wasn’t kidding. Some of the mosaics we saw were so detailed they looked like they had been printed, not handcrafted.

Each mosaic is custom-made, meaning no two designs are ever the same. Whether you want a piece for your home, business, or even a public space, ARDEA works closely with clients to make sure every detail is perfect.
