Kell Mertens

Anchored in the wonders of glass and driven by the harmony of creation, I find my home in the world of glass art. My journey as an artist is marked by a deep passion for collages and assemblages, pushing the boundaries of possibilities through glass. My work is a fusion of materials and techniques, with pewter as my connecting thread and the Tiffany method as my guide.Each piece I create reflects my love for nature and my spiritual journey. The organic shapes and vibrant colours that come to life in my work pay homage to the majestic beauty of the natural world around us. Each piece tells a story, an ode to the power of nature and the deep-rooted connection we share with all living things.Recup art is at the core of my practice, where I breathe new life into materials and breathe new life into their stories. Every piece of glass I use has a past and a history, and by incorporating them into my work, I give them a second chance to shine. It is my belief that art should not only inspire but also be enduring, carrying a message of hope and renewal in a world yearning for change.Besides creating my own art, I cherish the opportunity to share my knowledge and passion through workshops. By inspiring and guiding others on their own artistic journey, I hope to cultivate a community of creativity and connection. For in the world of glass and art, there is no greater joy than sharing our visions and building a more colourful and enchanting future together.May my work be a source of joy and wonder, a reminder of the beauty that lies in the simplicity of life and the power of creativity to unite us in a world of possibilities
