A few months ago, when social contact was still allowed before the Covid-19 crisis, I had a fantastic studio visit. Fredrik Haren, a creativity explorer who travels the world to meet artists and creative people, stopped by my studio in Barcelona. We had an eye-opening discussion about art. His inspiring inquisitive mind made me dig deep…

I’m often asked how I create my glass sculptures. In this video interview with creativity expert Fredrik Haren I explain the process and how failure is essential to be creative.

Working in a glass studio can have a few health risks. If you follow these general guidelines you will minimize injury and safety concerns. 1. Ventilation One of the first and most important health concerns in a glass studio are harmful particles in the air (and fumes if you’re running a kiln). To make sure…

I’m happy to announce that my sculpture Pendulum has been selected by the Glass Art Society to be part of the exhibition ‘Visions in Glass’ at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petesburg (Florida, USA). The Exhibition will run from March 9 – April 26 and the Opening Reception will be on Friday, March 29,…

The other day I received an email from a supposedly private collector who wanted to buy one of my glass sculptures. The email looked a bit suspicious and after doing some research I found out it was a scam technique being used in the art world. I’ve read some unsettling stories about artists who have…

Making a plaster mold to cast a glass sculpture involves a few steps.

Exploring the universe of optical glass

It was an honor to be recently interviewed by the Glass Art Society, one of the world’s leading organizations in glass art dedicated to promoting and supporting the worldwide community of artists who work with glass.

The mantle makes up most of the Earth’s total volume, but it has never been physically explored. This mysterious hot layer reaches temperatures as high as 3700C (6692F). Geologists believe that diamonds are formed in the mantle

AXIS. Optical glass sculpture. April 2018. Cast, polished and sandblasted. Size: 27 H x 27 W x 8.5 cm (10.6 H x 10.6 W x 3.3 in). Weight: 13 kg (28.6 lbs). Like the Earth revolving around its axis, life is constant movement and change. Everything fluctuates and changes constantly, within us, around us. Nothing…

One of the most challenging parts when polishing glass with an automatic grinder is to overcome surface tension: that moment when the slurry mix and the water on the metal disc get literally “glued” to the glass sculpture and don’t want to let go of each other. It is a moment of tension because you…

This grinding/polishing disc is around 40kg (88 pounds). I have to clean it extremely well every time I switch from one grit stage to the next, as any previous grit left on the disc can cause scratches — one of the most feared moments because it means you have to start over and spend several…
