Novell Art & Glass
I learned to blow glass 19 years ago. I learned from another glassblower, Alex Añó, to whom I am eternally grateful. I also learned from masters like Toni Villena and Salvador Marce, from whom I received advice and support to grow in knowledge and technique.
My original motivation was to create perfume bottles for the fragrances I made with my partner. But this art captivated me, and I dedicated myself to it completely. I trained in other techniques, even working with glass sculpture using rods and clay, and casting pate de verre with lost-wax molds. This led me to develop my own glass formula for each piece.
The feeling of working with this material is indescribable….
It is a meditation surrendering to time.
Working with the elements: fire and my breath as I blow, glass that is sand and melts into water. The type of glass marks time, which stands still as you watch it bake, and your breath is held with each adjustment, or expands with each stretch. It makes you dynamic or it makes you hold back... It always demands precision and is unforgiving if you're not in a good mood.
And at the end of the product, you are overcome by the emotion of its delicacy, which makes you commit to taking care of it, because you can easily lose everything if it breaks.
Each object has been like a child. And a step towards overcoming challenges.
