    "Garden"

    This design was not made for a customer, but for my own pleasure. The picture came to my mind during some travels, and because the image persisted I decided to make it from glass.

    I am interested in our biggest environment, the universe, which is full of unknown objects, rules and materials, although it is our home as well. It is cold and dark, but despite all these unfriendly conditions it gives us a beautiful planet to live on. Glass is one of the best materials to work with on this topic: hard, bright and colourful, and light makes it alive, just like our planet. The panel has schwarzlot painted pieces as well, in order to make the picture more detailed.

    In my work, Glass Eye 2000 is my best tool. I make all my designs with it. It makes not just designing easier, but the assembly too, because I just have to print out the design and I can start the work immediately no more enlarging by hand.

    The final panel size is 45 x 95 cm. It was a big pleasure when I found that painted parts can be designed with the software also if I use very thin lines, imitating the painting.
