ABOUT MY WORK

My work is focused on looking for new ways of work with glass and combinations of the other materials in arts and designing as well.I work with optical and light properties of glass. Thus, to create light design optics as well as free dynamic spatial composition. While studying at the university, I discovered a passion for working at a hot shop. I create abstract sculptures made of glass in which I try to solve the problematics of light and shadows or playing of glass objects with different weights. In recent years I enjoyed creating glass design objects. I used different models, patterns and various cultures in my themes but mostly I was inspired by the place where I grew up.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Where you can see any glass craft there only in shop windows. When I was 15 years old, I decided to move from Kazakhstan to the Czech Republic for studying and working with this magnificent material. I graduated Secondary School of Glassmaking in Kamenický Šenov, Czech Republic. It has the long traditions of hand-made glass in Europe and I had an opportunity to discover the beauty of glass. The strong glass community in this area inspired me and made me decide to pursue a deal with glass.  As I wanted to continue my study I decided to move to Zlín, Czech Republic. I started studying at the glass department led by Petr Stanický at Tomas Bata University. Where I had a lot of possibilities to try other techniques and worked in a hot shop. I had a lot of experiments with blown glass, and I fascinated work in the hot shop.
During my university studying, I discovered a new approach to free art. I began to observe the shapes and relationships between them. During my studying and also outside the academic ground I dedicate my time to study light design and basic rules of artificial lighting.

Sognare

The design set is inspired by the memory of a dream and passing moment. The set includes three objects. Two blown ligaments and table lamp. The vases are made at the hotshop. And I used a hand cuting glass technique. Table lamp is made of metal parts made on laser. Segments can be assembled together into one object that forms a rectangle.
