Planet Sculpture 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 the heart for many hundreds of years.

His main work is creating unique fine art glass sculptures, but he is also a mixed media sculptor and will 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 learned 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 was not only well-made but also pleasing to the eye.

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

His artwork has won him legions of admirers. He was voted by the Michael Angelo Foundation as one of the Top 100 Artists of Europe.

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.
