František Jungvirt is a contemporary Czech glass artist based in Prague, whose work is rooted in glass painting and surface experimentation. He studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM) in the glass studio of Rony Plesl, where he developed a strong foundation in traditional techniques while pursuing a distinctly contemporary artistic language.
Jungvirt’s practice is characterized by an innovative approach to glass painting and enameling, combining classical hand techniques with experimental methods such as airbrushing and the development of non-fired and fluorescent paints. Color and surface play a central role in his work, transforming glass into an expressive, pictorial medium rather than a purely sculptural form.
His artworks reinterpret Czech glass heritage through contemporary gesture, often juxtaposing meticulous craftsmanship with bold, spontaneous interventions. Jungvirt’s work has been exhibited internationally, including presentations in Milan, and is represented in major Czech public collections such as the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. His practice occupies a distinctive position within contemporary glass art, where tradition, experimentation, and visual intensity converge.
Tatjana is a striking collectible from the Fashion Glass Collection, created in collaboration with well-known Czech fashion designer Barbora Kotěšovcová. Inspired by the supermodels of the ‘80s and ‘90s, this avant-garde piece blends the cool transparency of crystal glass with the luxurious softness of velvet fur, capturing the movement and attitude of high fashion.
Tatjana, handcrafted in a renowned glass studio in Desná, is a signed and certified masterpiece—a daring exploration of material, texture, and artistic vision.
