Stained Glasses

Glass is that organic matter that fascinates me. Since the beginning, I have been intrigued by the possibilities it could offer.

'Mosaic' Stained Glasses

A Stained Glass "mosaic" refers to works done without the use of any paint (grisaille).

It is a stained glass panel in which the protagonist are the colors of each small glass plate.

Painting on glass as an Italian ancient technique

Painting on glass was one challenge to overcome. After exploring several historical Italian workshops, I finally could retrieve what I was looking for.

Big Projects

Every Stained Glass begins with a scale model or proposal drawing to show the general idea. Then, the "cartone preparatorio", which is the drawing in 1:1 scale, takes place. This drawing must be perfect because it is the main rule on which the glass is going to be cut and painted.

Finally, after "burning" in a kiln the painted glass pieces, they are assembled through lead moldings and fixed with stucco.
