Vladimíra Klumpar-Pavlik

Vladimíra Klumpar-Pavlik is one of the leading figures in Czech fused glass sculpture. Her works are a dialogue between the material, the optical qualities of glass, and mystical content. At the same time, they bear witness to her mastery of glassmaking techniques. The artist also draws inspiration from her long-term stay in the United States.
