Slovak Contemporary Glass

1944, Ždiar

After studies in Prague his early work reflected the geometry of the Cigler School; however, the Czech glass tradition has been present in his work from the beginning. The main features of his works comprise organic forms, intense colours, destruction of the shape, and the use of internal structures of glass, such as bubbles and veils.
