Jaroslav Prošek B.1986

Bohemian Glass Sculptor

For New York collectors seeking hand-made glass with a sculptural sensibility, Jaroslav Prošek creates unique glass sculptures in Česká Lípa, at the heart of the Czech glass industry in Northern Bohemia. Shaped by years of technical work in Czech factories and by his time at Crystal Caviar, he holds that a product should be aesthetic as well as well made. He works by melting in mold, grinding, and engraving, often beginning with a small wooden model, and draws inspiration from nature, the sea, and yachting.

Jaroslav Prošek

Featured Glass Sculpture Artist

Jaroslav Prošek works in Česká Lípa in Northern Bohemia, in the heart of Czech glass industry. He specialises in designing and creating unique glass sculptures, but he also works with other materials, such as wood, stainless steel, or marble.

Jaroslav Prošek is not a typical artist, who loves art from his childhood, is consistently educated and does practice work. Jaroslav Prošek‘s journey to the world of glass art took some time. He was always manually skilled. After secondary school he worked at technical departments of big Czech factories. There he improved his manual skills and learned to fix any problem before the final product is done.

When he started to work at Crystal Caviar company, a small company producing luxury chandeliers and glass sculptures, his thinking about creating products has changed. He found out that products cannot be only well made, but also aesthetic, create by hand from the most luxurious material to the first-class art products. Then he started to make his first designs of glass sculptures.

At the beginning of his art career, he had an opportunity to learn basic skills in Vlastimil Beránek’s atelier. His influence to Jaroslav Prošek’s work is obvious. Some of his sculptures are simply shaped, sometimes inspired by the sea like Beránek’s sculptures.

Jaroslav Prošek uses several techniques to create his sculptures: melting in mold, grinding, engraving. Choice of glass technique depends on the sculpture’s shape which he wants to create. Inspirations for his sculptures come from nature, sea, yachting and also things used to normal consumption. When something inspires him, he makes a small wooden model of the shape and according to it he creates the final sculpture.

Although his art career hasn't lasted long, Jaroslav Prošek has already acquired his own reputation in The Czech Republic and slowly creates his reputation on the international market.
