A blood-red collectible vase-object with a freehand hot-glass modeled animal.

Vase as a painting. Inspired by a painter’s way of thinking about a 3D object.

For these, to some, frightening objects, I deliberately work with my “iconic” minimalistic vase shapes in earthy colors, on which perfectly crafted, modeled figurines of imitations of living creatures stand out perfectly.

I deliberately choose those who often scare us or are the cause of our phobias or nightmares. Striving for a hyper-realistic depiction of each individual creature (spider, beetle, crow, etc.) allows us to examine them from a real proximity and touch them, partially overcoming our fears.

Each vase is handmade, mouth-blown into a wooden mold, hand-cut, sanded, matted to a velvety finish and hot glass decorated.

Signed, numbered and certified.
