My pedagogical efforts were to incorporate glass, this traditional material, into the context of contemporary art. I wanted to encourage my students to get rid of its pandering effects, aesthetic decorativeness and look for a unique and convincing form for the chosen idea.

Working with glass is unpredictable and often brings irreversible moments. To handle it requires mental and manual rationality and discipline, but also creative enthusiasm. The combination of these opposing qualities gives birth to a welcome adrenaline adventure.

Paper is an easy-to-process material that can be used to create spatial and proportional connections quite realistically and, at the same time, it calls for the geometric form of the future shape.

Glass as an optical material combines the potential of both sculpture and painting. What fascinates me the most, however, is how this material, thanks to its unpredictability, is able to shape and retroactively influence the mental potential of the author.
