An Artist’s Path in Glass Art

For over 15 years, glass has captivated my imagination, fueling a passion that transcends mere artistic expression. While my journey began with a fascination for glass bottles, canning jars, and other everyday forms, it has evolved into a profound exploration of glass as an art medium.

Inspiration from Nature

My creative process draws heavily from the natural world—earth, sea, water, sky, and the myriad phenomena that shape them. I find endless inspiration in color, form, contrast, iridescence, tessellating patterns, and intricate complexities.

Studio in Lommel, Belgium

Located near the Dutch border in Lommel, Belgium, my studio is a sanctuary where creativity flourishes. Each morning begins with two cherished rituals: opening the kiln to unveil the latest creations and walking with my loyal Swiss Shepherd, Kelte.

The Living Nature of Glass

Molten glass, a mesmerizing blend of sand and metallic oxides, transforms under extreme heat into a material that mimics the fluidity of honey or the undulating motion of waves. When hot, glass becomes alive—flowing gracefully under the forces of gravity and centrifugal motion. Its inner light and radiant heat make glass both a rewarding and challenging medium for any artist.

My Artistic Vision

Once placed in the kiln, glass takes on a life of its own, often surprising with outcomes that range from unexpected to breathtaking. My ultimate goal is to create pieces that surpass expectations, embracing the mysterious ways in which glass moves and transforms.
