Vase - mold-blown glass, painted. Glass artist Ivana Šrámková shows us that glass can be approached completely differently. She creates not only small sculptures and vases satisfying these long-held ideas, but also sculptures whose size and weight are in no way secondary to their stone and bronze counterparts, which are far from having the legendary ethereal quality of glass. She does not shy away from any subject in her work, from classic still-lifes to fantastic visitors from outer space. As she does not merely copy nature; she approaches her depictions using various means. Detailed forms alternate with indications of only basic shapes. “I want my art to be as natural and as unaging as a folk song that people think has been around forever.”
