Sculpting Light Through Fused and Cast Glass
The dapper gentleman
Casted glass/clay. A sculpture titled The Dapper Gentleman, presenting a characterful figure with a refined and distinctive presence. The piece captures a sense of elegance and personality, with carefully shaped form and subtle detailing that evoke both charm and quiet sophistication.
Glass casting dates back to ancient Egypt. It’s a process where molten glass is poured into a mould and left to solidify. I make my own moulds, then fill them with glass, metal powders, and other intriguing materials. As they melt and fuse together, they can create truly beautiful pieces. Because the process is slow and precise, everything must follow an exact firing schedule. It can take up to a week before I can open the kiln — only then can I be sure the work has cooled fully and is ready for finishing.

Ceramic/ casted glass sculpture.The glass body captures light like water itself—shifting between pale aquamarine and hints of sunlit gold—so that it seems almost alive. Tiny bubbles are frozen within its torso

Let the Stillness Begin
In times when the world is trembling… A panel painted with acrylic and clay, with a peace symbol and glass leaves hanging from an antique holder. A meditation on calm in uncertain times.
Fused glass is where the glass speaks the loudest. These works are often three-dimensional and frequently combined with mixed media. I find myself returning to birds and wings time after time — they inspire me endlessly. Creating a wing in glass gives it a special kind of fragility: delicate, luminous, and richly coloured. Most of my sculptures truly come to life when they’re placed in a window, where the light can pass through and reveal their full depth and brilliance.

Painting allows me to explore ideas in a more intuitive and expressive way. Here, colour, movement, and emotion take the lead.

They are meant to invite the viewer in, offering space for reflection, imagination, and personal interpretation.
