My work primarily focuses on stained glass mosaics, a medium that has evolved as the core of my practice. Each stained glass sheet is meticulously cut into tiny pieces, shaped according to the design, and individually placed onto the base using an adhesive. Over the years, I have experimented with various surfaces for my base, from stainless steel to granite slabs. However, most of my work is designed on lightweight UPVC or MDF boards, later expertly framed in solid wood.
At its heart, my art is an expression of the delicate relationship between nature and human emotions. Through my compositions, I aim to evoke nostalgia, wonder, and an appreciation for the natural world. One of my most cherished commissioned projects was a stained glass mosaic featuring Cyprus vine flowers and Golden flame-back woodpeckers with little fireflies fluttering in the forest backdrop, a beloved childhood memory for my client. This project exemplified the deeply personal and emotional connections that art can foster. Another of my recent work with stained glass, titled ‘The Living Underwater world’, captures the delicate and interconnected world beneath the surface, where fresh and saltwater ecosystems thrive in harmony forming a full-circle. Each hand-cut glass piece mirrors the delicate balance of nature, forming an intricate dance of light, movement, and life. Schools of fish glide among floating lily pads and coral blooms, blending into the dark aquamarine abyss. The play of colors and textures mimics the fluidity of water, where reflections shift like fleeting memories.
