Modern Fused Glass Art ‘Equilibrium Intense’ by Janine Altman

‘Equilibrium Intense’ is another fantastic piece of modern fused glass art by Janine Altman that conveys the idea of balance and stability.

Balance is the state of a body when the sum of all the forces and moments that act in it is counteracted. We say that someone or something is in balance when, despite having little support base, remains standing without falling. We recognize balance in situations of harmony between different things or between parts of a whole. What better than to aspire to find this equilibrium, harmony and stability in our lives?

Help bring ‘balance’ into your home and life as you contemplate this amazing piece.

Modern Fused Glass Art Artist

Janine Altman hails from Uruguay. She creates stunning glass artworks using a range of techniques. These include Fused Glass, Flameworking and Pate de Verre. Altman also has her own unique way of working glass, which she calls “Openwork Glass”. This signature style is a sophisticated form that consists of joining hundreds of small bits of glass linked by metal lines. This allows Janine to make a new structure altogether.

More recently, Janine has been experimenting and investigating ways to recycle glass and be more sustainable and planet-friendly in her practice. She starts by using either broken objects or those in disuse and in her glass artworks. Many of her pieces have a geometric and abstract form, with a range of textures and tones. This results in entirely unique and irreproducible pieces. Her style is often as eclectic as it is avant-garde!

Janine has participated in a great variety of International Exhibitions and Fairs and her works are recognised by Contemporary Glass Society, UK and the National Liberty Museum of Philadelphia. Educational and social institutions, as well as private collections, hold Janine’s artworks.

Finally, Janine also teaches glass artistry and is Director of the Gallery ACCS Visual Arts in Montevideo, Uruguay. A very talented and industrious lady indeed!

Artist’s Statement

“Contemplate nature as a source of inspiration. The universe arouses our curiosity and amazes us with its details, rhythms, colours, textures, shapes and volumes. The harmony and geometry of nature motivate me and my work. The study of Nature shows us that there is a natural order governed by laws. These laws and forces of nature, are also a source of inspiration for me.”
