"Franco Notonica has a unique gift of mastery. With his trained and intuitive understanding of materials and form he breathes life into the inanimate materials of stone and glass mosaic. These skills complimented with his honest concern and commitment to his projects and his sympatico nature make the process of realizing a major collaborative work surprisingly delightful and deeply rewarding.
I trust his eye and hand to make the hard decisions required of a collaborative process.
It has been an honor to work with Franco in my major monumental public art mosaics for transportation, hubs, hospitals and public facilities."

"In his position as head of mosaic department at a Munich glass and mosaic studio, Franco oversaw the fabrication and quality control for my NYC MTA Art & Design Commission in 2012. He translated eleven works on paper into large, beautiful mosaics. The moment of truth for me was opening the crates of the finished mosaics upon their arrival to NYC.
I was so surprised and enthusiastic at how accurately my imagery was translated, translated in a manner that allowed me to feel ownership. That is very important for an artist. Franco has an innate artistic ability and is completely sensitive to that aspect."
