Lukáš Jabůrek is a contemporary Czech glass artist whose work is defined by a disciplined exploration of color, light, and precision cutting. Trained within the rich tradition of Bohemian glassmaking, Jabůrek approaches glass as an optical and sculptural medium through which perception itself becomes the subject of the work. His practice is rooted in technical mastery, yet guided by a conceptual understanding of how form, transparency, and incision interact to create visual depth and internal movement within the material.
Through meticulous hand-cutting and layered color compositions, Jabůrek activates light as an integral structural element. His works are not merely shaped objects but carefully constructed glass forms in which clarity and complexity coexist. Each piece reveals an internal spatial dialogue, where color is embedded within the mass of glass and gradually unfolds through the rhythm of cut surfaces and controlled geometry.
Inspired by the mysterious beauty of the ocean, Medusa is a captivating hand-blown glass sculpture that celebrates the transformative relationship between light, colour, and form.
Crafted from rare alexandrite glass layered with deep cobalt blue, the piece reveals a remarkable optical effect as its colours shift with changing light and viewing angles. Deeply hand-cut and polished wedge-shaped facets refract light through the glass, creating the illusion of sunlight penetrating the depths of the sea.
Balancing exceptional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression, Medusa exemplifies Lukáš Jabůrek's mastery of optical glass and his ability to transform traditional glassmaking techniques into sculptural works of art.
