<\/p>\n
A unique collectible series of vases decorated with hot-glass modeled animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each piece is unique, hand blown into a wooden mold. The glass animals are hands modeled<\/strong>\u00a0by glass master Martin \u0160tef\u00e1nek<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Collectable artistically rendered objects-vases that work with the minimalism of form and the legacy of “free-thinking” surrealism and postmodernism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Objects that take us back to carefree childhood years full of toys and imitations of our fairy-tale heroes<\/strong>. Plush animals that were our closest and inseparable friends. It was able to fill us with positive mood, fulfill our fairy-tale dreams, overcome obstacles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For these “plush vases<\/strong>“, I deliberately work with my “iconic” minimalist vase shapes in pastel colors, on which perfectly crafted, modeled figurines of imitations of living creatures stand out perfectly, for which I was inspired by children’s fairy tales from the water world, the forest or the prairie.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n My painting approach and thinking are reflected in the vases. The realistic motifs of animals<\/strong> and flowers, which I often scientifically examine through painting, become 3D due to the collaboration with the glass master Martin \u0160tef\u00e1nek<\/strong>, and we are able to feel all the details. I am loosely following up on my project of 3D modeled enamel animals from 2019 (Still life with fruit and animals<\/strong><\/a>) and my 2 graduation projects (Frangible Scenery<\/a> and Floral Creatures<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The vases-objects were made by glass master Martin \u0160tef\u00e1nek<\/strong>, Desn\u00e1, Czech Republic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Each vase is hand signed, certified and numbered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
