Join acclaimed American mosaic artist Ray Corral, founder of Mosaicist, Inc., for an inspiring journey into transforming artistic passion into a thriving business and fulfilling lifestyle. Drawing from his unique path—from a music industry collaboration with Madonna to becoming a visionary in architectural mosaics—Ray will share the untold story of building a successful mosaic enterprise.

This session is designed to ignite your entrepreneurial spirit, offering invaluable insights into the mosaic industry. You’ll gain practical knowledge on how to:

  • Identify and cultivate your unique niche within the mosaic art world.
  • Develop a robust business model leveraging your artistic and entrepreneurial strengths.
  • Navigate industry collaborations to expand your reach and grow your business.
  • Secure diverse commissions, from prestigious “Art in Public Places” projects to high-end residential and commercial private works.

Prepare for an engaging experience featuring compelling video content and an interactive Q&A session, providing you with the essential tools and motivation to sculpt your own mosaic masterpiece, both in art and in business.

Ray Corral is an American artist born in Miami in 1973 who has made a name for himself in the world of mosaic art. His creative journey began in the music industry during the 1990s and early 2000s, where he gained recognition as a talented musician in Miami. Discovered by Madonna, Ray collaborated with her for nearly three years and co-wrote music with renowned producer Ish Ledesma.

In the early 2000s, Ray transitioned into the visual arts, focusing on mosaics. Initially inspired by old-world designs, his artistic voice emerged when he began working on architectural mosaics for luxury homes, leading to the founding of Mosaicist, Inc. Today, Ray serves as the head director and visionary behind all design projects within his firm.
