Wings 3056

height: 32,5 cm / 12.8 inch

The successful collection of art objects Four Elements, designed by Jiří Šuhájek, continues in the collection of massive coloured vases, called Angels. The vases are executed in two shape alternations and three colour combinations – aquamarine-beryl, beryl-topaz and alexandrite-rosalin. The vases are limited to an edition of 300 pieces of each shape and colour. It is signed by the artist and by Moser. A numbered Certificate of Authenticity is enclosed to each artwork. The author explains closer the inspiration source of this unique collection saying: “Not even did the Icarus’ fall turn the mankind off their desire to fly. To fly as high as the upper regions as the wildest birds do, or just fly about a bit, but on the wings of the most magnificent butterflies. Therefore, it may have always been only one of the big human dreams. So, only angels were given wings at first. Such wings as we know them from the works of great masters of sculpture and painting of the past and the present, for instance. The theme of angels captivated me with its symbolic connection between the worldly life and the divine one, and its creative potential of artistic interpretation. Glass with its characteristics challenges you directly to work with it. Its optics and the glassmaking alchemy mentioned above have lead me to the idea of creating angel’s wings in the rainbow dyes accredited, for example, to Archangel Sephariel of Peace. Some other colours are also indisputably beautiful – garnet and ruby red of Uriel’s wings and green of Raphael’s wings. I lashed them down to the ground in the vase shape with the angels’ names. And may be with the heavenly mission, too…“
