Introduction

Hello, I am a glass artist. I currently live and create in Montreal, Canada.

I’ve spent the last two decades working with glass — shaping color, light, and meaning.

Now I invite you to discover DreamGlass World — a project born from my deepest artistic and human vision.

 

It’s a call for collective creation.

Through a simple yet powerful technique called instant fused glass, people from around the world can turn emotion into luminous glass panels. These panels will form the walls of public architectural spaces — a new language of light, made by many hands and many hearts.

 

Watch my film here to see how it begins.

Every one of my works is dedicated to some idea. I further develop this idea throughout the process of creation of the piece. After the completion of my glass work, I write a story for it.

For most of my fusion works, they are done using my own technique of drawing with glass powder. You can read about the technique here.

If you are interested in my path as an artist, I suggest for you to read my post about my 15 years of creation with glass here. There I tell my story and display the work I have done up until the end of 2018. You can find the works I have done for 2019 here.

№ 1. My Steps Toward the DreamGlass World.

 № 1. 100725. These notes will be called My Steps Toward the DreamGlass World. I will tell stories and reflect, show and move forward. Eleven days ago, I released my film into the world. It was an Event in my system of coordinates.

 

For those who haven’t seen the film, I’ll say this: it tells a mystical story of a woman—me—who heard a Voice and decided to make humanity happier. So she developed concrete moves. But no one hears her yet.

 

Despite the low view count, I received a couple dozen responses. I released my dream into the world.

Now only one thing remains: to build the DreamGlass World.

 

My steps may seem strange and illogical.

My writings await a thoughtful reader.

I’m far too small a grain of sand to build the DreamGlass World.

 

And yet.
