I am a recent graduate from Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia, specialising in the medium of glass. In my works I combine glass with other materials, and looking for new possibilities for creating decor.
In my work, I decided to create interior items – vases, in which decor plays an essential role, becoming a supporting element as well as a form tool. I build on the experience I have gained so far during my studies and use metal as a secondary material alongside glass. I create the decor before the semi-products themselves are created, which gives me the opportunity to define their future shape in advance. At the same time, metal can offer a new perspective on decoration. In addition to the relief decor, the glass is pushed outwards through the perforated parts of the metal, thus adding another dimension to the creation of the decor.
