From the technical to the artistic
- • Jaroslav creates sculptures using cut and mould melted glass
- • He has been making his own work since 2010
- • He enjoys the interplay between shape and colour
After leaving secondary school, Jaroslav Prošek worked in the technical departments of several companies. His hidden talent for glass art was discovered when he started to work at Czech glass company Crystal Caviar. Through learning by doing he gradually mastered the very complex craft of glass art, across different glass disciplines. Self-taught, he has no formal artistic education, but in recent years has developed his own personal artistic expression by creating sculptures of mould melted glass, where simple shapes are combined with coloured glass.
