Sketches from an Antique Shop Fantasy in Glass In the glowing heat of a glass workshop an artist, designer and fantasist is accomplishing his dreams in glass. The sculpture into which he imprints his intimacy, imagination and energy thus turns into an unrepeatable work of glass art. The transparency of the glass, sometimes with rainbow colours or with an ice structure reminiscent of a floating iceberg, its permeability of light so important to each and every human being reveals its activity and hardness on the outside and a living organism on the inside. The glass - a mass from which the artist creates a sculpture, a bowl, a candlestick or a vase, etches or engraves the surface, than artistically draws it out and forms it with the perfection of an artisan. With childlike joy he rejoices at what he has created and shows respect to the fragility of the material that does not always form to his demands. The artist Tihomir Tomič tells us his stories about the kingdom of glass, for we Have the desire to listen and observe the spirit trapped within the glass mass, so full of life that we want to touch it over and over again.
