Peter Mandl is a Czech-born sculptor working primarily in glass and bronze, now based in Sweden. Following the events of 1968, he settled in Scandinavia, where he developed a long-standing studio practice shaped by both Central European glass tradition and Scandinavian modernism.
Mandl studied at the College of Glass Art in Železný Brod and later at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, with additional training at Orrefors’ Glass School. His early professional experience included work with leading glasshouses such as Kosta and Orrefors, grounding his practice in material discipline and technical rigor.
Devoted to sculpture throughout his life, Mandl is known for a distinctive forming and mould-melting technique through which he captures fleeting moments in solid glass and bronze. His works draw inspiration from natural forces and the human body, creating forms that appear frozen in time yet remain visually dynamic. Balancing classical proportion with fluid abstraction, his sculptures invite both contemplation and calm, occupying a distinctive place within collectible contemporary glass art and sculpture. Today, his creations are featured in public and private collections worldwide.
Theodota is an impressive glass sculpture that exemplifies the artist's ability to capture movement and elegance. Standing at 131 cm tall, 33 cm wide, and 32 cm deep, this piece features elongated, flowing forms that convey a sense of grace and fluidity. The sculpture's translucent glass material allows light to interact dynamically with its surfaces, enhancing its ethereal quality. This work reflects the artist's dedication to portraying the beauty of the human form through the delicate medium of glass
