Glass portraits – unique and timeless
Glass is a mysterious material: seductive, sometimes transparent, sometimes opaque, and always shaped by light.
Glass portrait sculptures develop a language of their own, in which light, reflections and ever-changing views play a decisive role.
With the return of the human figure in art, lifecasting has also become established. Lifecasting or body casting is the faithful reproduction of parts of the human body using plaster, alginate or silicone. This technique is often used in art, particularly in America and England.
A moment in life is captured, frozen forever between the living and the inanimate. The real becomes surreal.
Light refracts through the glass. Fiction and illusion emerge, drawing the eye inward and outward and revealing different perspectives as the light changes.
Portraits created to mark a particular occasion, such as a youth celebration or confirmation, the start or completion of studies, a wedding, a milestone birthday, etc., capture defining moments in everyone’s life.
Even many years later, these portraits remain precious and extraordinary keepsakes, treasured across generations.
Faces, hands, feet—the possibilities are endless.
Please get in touch if you are interested in a glass portrait or a body casting.
