Engraved Glass Sculpture ‘Little Islands’ by Jitka Skuhrava

Engraved glass sculpture objects made from solid glass.

A powerful centrepiece or to add gravitas to a mantel or side table. Something that will catch the eye and captivate the viewer.

Each piece is entirely unique, a real one-off, never to be repeated.

The solid glass piece is deeply cut and engraved into the solid material by hand. In this work, the artist uses her glassmaking skills and her desire to push the limits of given technologies.

Artist Statement
“The goal of each of my glass objects is to achieve the perfection of a natural phenomenon whose beauty and function can authentically captivate anyone. “

Engraved Glass Sculpture – Artist

Czech glass artist Jitka Skuhrava comes from a long line of glass makers. She, along with her collaborator and husband, Tomas Kamenec are both following in the glassmaking tradition of their parents and grandparents.

With over 100 years of family tradition to draw from, they have won admirers and clients around the world. Their bespoke creations can be found in commercial spaces and private residences.

They use their own Czech-based studio and local glass technologists to deliver their work wherever in the world their client is based.

Specialising in glass lighting installations and sculptures since 2007, they have been working on delivering fantastic glass art sculptures and luxurious light installations around the world.

From department stores to high-end hotels, and casinos to corporate lobbies, their work can be found in cities across the planet.

Their lighting installations enhance the beauty of the architecture and deliver light in a wondrously designed, contemporary artistic style that perfectly befits the building.

Their bespoke glass lighting installations combine the refined beauty of a well-crafted lighting system, with the artistic imagination of the glass art that encapsulated and delivered the light itself. Once blended, they become intrinsically linked in the art aggregate.

As well as being a powerful art duo in their own right, Jitka and Tomas collaborate closely with other renowned designers, including Nendo, Daniel Libeskind, Arik Levy, Michael Young, Ross Lovegrove, and others.

Artist Statement
“Glass is a fascinating material that has been part of our whole lives, and it still does not cease to amaze us with its fragile and unique beauty. We love creating personal and original designs. We see the process of our artworks from the beginning to the end; we respect the quality of every individual part and often refine the glass ourselves with our own skills by hand.”
