Convex Wall Mirror, Angel-Gilded Églomisé Center 24K gold, Curved Amber Glass

From his studio in Skalica, a historic town at the crossroads of Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Austria, Ondrej Mikuš channels the rich artistic legacy of Central Europe. His work is a modern continuation of the celebrated Austro-Hungarian glassmaking tradition, a heritage of excellence that flourished in the region. While glass is his primary medium, Mikuš’s exploration extends to the elemental nature of ceramics and terracotta. His diverse practice is unified by a singular philosophy: the dialogue between perfection and imperfection. For Mikuš, a material like molten glass represents a flawless ideal. The act of shaping it by hand introduces the human touch, embracing the subtle, organic variations that make each piece unique. This tension between the pristine material and the handcrafted form is his signature. With over 15 years of mastery honed across Europe, Mikuš fearlessly combines ancient techniques with a contemporary vision. Every MikusGlass object is meticulously handcrafted by the artist himself, created to be a beautiful, sustainable work of art that inspires modern living.
