Vlastislav Janáček is an amazing glass artist hailing from the Czech Republic. Born in Havlíčkův Brod, he now lives and works in Kamenický Šenov.

His career in glass art started by working with a glass cutter. From there, he went on to study at the School of Applied Arts in Kamenický Šenov. There, under the leadership of Prof. V. Klein, he honed his glass artist skills and graduated in 1989. Since 1990 Vlastislav has been concentrating on creating his own beautifully modern and very colourful, optical glass sculptures. He has had many solo and group exhibitions across Europe and the USA. We are delighted to showcase Jancek’s amazing and colourful glass art sculptures.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:

It is very simple to talk about my work – I just love glass. I am not really looking for the quantity effects that the material offer. What I am trying to do is to discover is the inner origin and peculiar world of the glass. What about my themes? They come spontaneously. They are everywhere around as – the relationship between people, nature, music … One has only to look and listen.

I will be totally happy if I manage to touch somebody with my work and bring my feelings and perceptions to others through my glass objects.
