"My artistic credo – to be to the right people. So for decades he worked "on two fronts", that is creating samples for mass production as the artist of the plant and at the same time numerous exhibition and gift works as a sole master.
Prefer a man-made origin, so my favorite technique is free-blown, which gives a large space for imagination, experiment. Simultaneously a lot of soul gave precious and beautiful, but fragile material – glass. Possessed and pleasure worked with sulphide-zinc glass, which are capable of miraculous metamorphosis. Happy that he linked his fate with a whimsical, but this magical material like glass"-so has defined his artistic credo Golembiowska S. V.
Died November 19, 2016.
