Joe Ureña is the founder and Creative Director of Mosaiclegs Art Studio, a luxury custom mosaic design and fabrication studio based in Southern California. Since 1998, Joe has been designing, fabricating, and installing custom mosaic art for residential pools, commercial spaces, and architectural installations across California and nationwide.
Joe’s work begins where most artisans stop — at the source. He works exclusively with premium Mexican smalti glass, hand-selecting materials for color fidelity, durability, and the way they interact with water and light. Every project is designed from scratch: no templates, no shortcuts. Clients bring a vision, and Joe brings it to life in glass, stone, and color.
Over more than two decades, Joe has developed deep expertise across every phase of the mosaic process:
“Every project we take on is a unique experience for our client. We pay immense attention when designing for you the client. Inspired in dialogue along with photos and digital designs, we bring them all together to create a unique design for every customer.”
— Joe Ureña
Joe believes a mosaic should outlast the building it’s installed in. He designs for permanence — selecting materials, adhesives, and grouting systems that hold up for decades in the harshest conditions. It’s why clients who worked with Joe in the early 2000s still refer new clients today.
Whether you’re designing a custom pool mosaic, a luxury interior feature wall, or a large-scale architectural installation, Joe brings the same level of craftsmanship and personal attention to every project.
