Vlastislav is one the most reliable of the artists our gallery represents. The purity of his optical glass and his continuous creativity has appealed to collectors worldwide.

The intricacies of Janacek’s architectural designs can hardly be appreciated in the photos or by casually looking at the objects. To fully understand and enjoy those sculptures, we have to explore their crevices with our hands (without worrying about fingerprints). What is meant by elements in the photo captions are the number of polished glass parts glued seamlessly to create the sculpture.

One of the most impressive of Vlastislav’s recent works is ...what a Figure! On casual viewing it appears simple; however, there are intricacies in the combination of its seven elements that can be appreciated best through our tactile sense. The subtlety of its design is amplified by the top element, a black mirror. -Sami Harawi-

Artist’s Statement

"It is very simple to talk about my work - I just love glass. I am not really looking for the quantity effects that the material offers. What I am trying to do is to discover is the inner origin and peculiar world of the glass.
