A Material Journey

Young Me

My creative path began in a garage, immersed in the world of carbon fiber. Working in a bike shop, I honed my skills in shaping and assembling, developing a deep appreciation for materials and their potential.

Further to Metal

This hands-on experience drew me deeper into the world of metalwork. With the guidance of skilled blacksmiths, I began creating jewelry myself, learning to shape metal with precision and patience. Designing and crafting each piece by hand refined my sense of form and structure, and strengthened my connection to the material and its maker’s touch.

Finally Glass

From the first crack on glass, it just felt right.

Eventually my curiosity led me to glass, a material both fragile and resilient. I had seen other artists working with broken glass before. At that time I was drawing and painting, always exploring but never thinking of glass as a medium.

That changed the moment I tried it myself. I didn’t know what to expect, but the feeling was immediate. It just made sense.

Breaking glass was no longer an accident, it became a method.I began to experiment.

I tried different types of glass, worked with various surfaces, hammers and tools. I wanted to understand how glass reacts when the surface is too soft, too hard, or when it breaks without control. I invested time and money to find the balance where break and control coexist.

Over time I developed my own way of working. I wanted the glass to appear broken but not fall apart. Every crack should remain alive, not destroyed, but transformed.

Maybe that is the secret behind it all, the essence of what I do.

From that balance a language emerged, one that turns fracture into expression.

Now every strike is deliberate. Every piece stands on its own. This is my process. This is how I create.

The result is only part of the story.

What I really want is this:

When people look at one of my works,

I want them to feel the process behind it.

To sense the risk. The tension. The point of no return.

To know that this isn’t just an image. It’s the result of a hundred decisions.

And sometimes, of several shattered plates before one survived.

A mentally and emotionally connection

Every time I start over, it leaves a mark.

It challenges me, exhausts me, and somehow grounds me.

There’s vulnerability in it, but also strength.

And I think that’s why I keep doing it.

This art teaches me resilience.

To try again. To accept failure as part of creation.

That’s the story behind every break.

That’s the reason I keep breaking.

Broken Glass Art

  • For now

    In my current work, I use deliberate hammer strikes to fracture glass, transforming destruction into creation. Each piece is a singular composition, shaped by the unpredictable nature of breaking glass. The resulting patterns of lines and points coalesce into images that are both spontaneous and intentional.

  • The upcomming arts

    To enhance these compositions, I apply colors to the back of the glass, allowing hues to interact with the fractures and light, creating depth and vibrancy. This technique adds another layer of complexity, as the interplay between color and shattered patterns evokes a dynamic visual experience.

  • The bright future

    Looking ahead, I plan to incorporate lighting elements into my work. By integrating light sources, I aim to illuminate the cracks and colors from within, adding a new dimension that plays with transparency, shadow, and reflection. This evolution will further explore the relationship between material, light, and perception.
