DBR Chairman Adrian Attwood ACR is proud to report; “As DBR and QEST both celebrate 35 years this year, we are pleased to announce our 2025 DBR/QEST scholar, Eniko Leanyvari, a classically trained mosaicist."

Eniko is the latest recipient of our scholarship in partnership with QEST – a collaboration that continues to champion excellence in British craftsmanship, honouring the memory of our former Chairman, George Henderson.

With DBR’s extensive experience in mosaic conservation, we are proud to sponsor a craftsperson whose work so closely aligns with our heritage work and values.

We look forward to supporting Eniko as she hones her skills and contributes to the future of mosaic artistry in the UK.

Enik? Leányvári, founder of Tiger’s Eye Mosaic, is a classically trained mosaicist based at Cockpit Arts in London. Her work spans intricate micromosaics to large-scale floors and murals, blending ancient and contemporary techniques. She is particularly focused on filato micromosaic — a highly detailed process developed in 18th-century Rome — and is committed to both preserving and evolving this rare artform.

Enik? balances her own artistic practice with bespoke commissions, teaching and leading community projects. Her deep engagement with material and process informs everything she does, from delicate jewellery-scale works to architectural pieces.

With QEST support, Enik? will travel to Italy to undertake a programme of advanced one-to-one training with leading mosaicists, including Arianna Gallo at Koko Mosaico, Maria Teresa Vacchini at Savelli Art and Tradition, Annalisa Marcucci, and Elena Lo Presti. The training covers traditional and contemporary approaches to filato, micromosaic jewellery fabrication and restoration.

Enik? is passionate about sharing her skills and keeping this intricate craft alive — pushing its boundaries while ensuring its relevance for future generations.
