Recycled Glass Art ‘Enjoying at the Lake’ by Janine Altman

Resplendent recycled glass art. Flameworked and fused glass made with best quality Bullseye glass, float glass and pieces of recycled glass.

Superbly crafted, with the feel of a jewel-encrusted brooch that has been made bigger and bolder.

Encapsulated in a steel frame for rigidity and to form a solid base. Perfect for a luxury home or superyacht to add splendour to a side shelf or table.

Artist Statement about the piece:
I have a deep fascination for nature and its great and varied richness. Also, the harmony and balance that we can find in it.
This artwork is inspired by the enormous beauty that nature offers us.

We can dream and imagine the mysteries at the bottom of the sea. Colours and shapes combine and complement each other, to represent this fantastic world under the sea and try to discover the secrets that the marine world keeps.

Recycled 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. “
