Fine Art Glass Sculptures ‘Pandora Seed’ by Jaroslav Prošek

‘Pandora Seed’ is one of those fine art glass sculptures that truly breaks the mould.

It has everything, deeply rich layers of colour that bewitch the eye at every angle. Polished, undulating curves that captivate the audience and also capture and reflect the light in a myriad of ways.

This deserves to sit proudly in a space where it can be appreciated from all sides – a true centrepiece in every respect.

Fine Art Glass Sculptures – Artist

Jaroslav Prošek glass artist from Beroun, in the Czech Republic. He works in Česká Lípa in Northern Bohemia; the heart of the Czech glass industry, and has been so for many hundreds of years.

His main work is in creating unique fine art glass sculptures, but he is also a mixed media sculptor and will also utilise the properties of wood, marble or stainless steel to create his sculptures.

Prošek’s journey into the world of glass was an epic one. It was only after secondary school that Jaroslav began his interest in design. His first foray was while working for Big Czech glass factory technical departments, where he helped fix product design issues and improved his hands-on experience with the glass medium.

He moved on to more artful settings where he learnt under the tutelage of Vlastimil Beránek and Jan Frydrych as an understudy at their atelier studios.

Prošek began working at a small luxury sculpture and chandelier company and began looking at work as something that not only was well-made but also pleasing to the eye.

In 2010 he began making his own works of art using optical glass and crystal glass that were both finely constructed and aesthetically pleasing.

His work has won him legions of admirers and he was voted Top 100 Artists of Europe by the Michael Angelo Foundation.

His work draws heavily on his love for the sea and he was selected to create the 2019 ‘Blue Ocean Award’ glass trophy, which rewards companies for implementing the Blue Ocean strategy.

Jaroslav Prošek glass artist uses a multitude of techniques, including cast glass moulds, grinding, polishing and engraving, to create his highly sought-after glass sculptures.
