Portraits on broken glass from SIMON BERGER
Contemporary art is striking in its creativity and diversity. Every creative person wants to leave a mark on history and stand out from others. Therefore, craftsmen are looking for unusual techniques and materials to create something special.
An artist from Switzerland named Simon Berger came up with his own way of transferring art. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that at first glance one might think that the author is destroying, not creating. But the end result of his manipulations will not leave indifferent anyone who ever sees the exclusive creations.
To create a masterpiece, the master needs a hammer,
chisel and glass. With the help of these objects, the craftsman learned to make realistic images and portraits of people. It should be noted that the Swiss became an innovator of this trend in art. There are no analogues to his creations to this day.
The artist begins his work with photographs of those whose portraits are going to be "knocked out" on the glass. After processing photos in computer programs, the author prints the images in the required size and quality. Then he proceeds to sketch the future drawing on the surface of the glass. Berger does this with a special felt-tip pen. Having marked on the glass "canvas" the places for hammer blows and those that should remain intact, Simon takes on the most laborious and crucial stage - the direct creation of the image. The master performs blows with tools with pinpoint accuracy, controlling the direction of all cracks, One wrong movement and the picture will be ruined.
Berger's works are very popular. This hobby began to bring the Swiss considerable profit. The owners of cafes and shops invite an artist to decorate the windows of their establishments.
