Flamenco

Inspired by the Andalusian dance, Flamenco represents pure passion. Hand-blown crystal pieces, decorated with an optical pattern, bear an imprint of the dramatic movement of dancers‘ skirts with their lifted and waved edges. Each installation charges the room with the rhythm of the swirling, dynamic performance.

Designed by Jiri Krisica. What fascinates me about working with glass is the share of manual work, which is still significant. It requires fine craftsmanship and precision of a master glass-maker. In the era of machines and robotics, these skills are becoming increasingly rare. My roots go back to North Bohemia, where the craft of glass-making is passed from generation to generation. I also follow in the steps of my family tradition of cutters, engravers, and miniature makers. I pay great interest to details around me since they can provide endless inspiration for creating glowing objects of art.
