My name is Simone Crestani and I’m a glass maker! I started blowing glass when I was 15 years old and I immediately became very fond of it.

I can say that I have two big passions so far in my life – glass and nature. Therefore, in my works I try to combine both of them – I give my sculptures natural shapes. The technique I use is called flameworking which means using a strong flame for melting and sculpting glass. Anyway, during the years of practice I have already developed my personal technique of glass blowing.

I am very lucky as I was able to turn my passion into a real profession!

Your art is amazing! Very unique and much respect for the subject matter. I would love to see more. Do you do any work with colored glass?

I love most of your work, but why'd you have to go and hang a bunny by its ears??? Otherwise they're all very beautiful and powerful ^u^

Most of these works are lovely and intriguing, but I, too, do not much like the hanging animals; they're just a bit too grotesque.

Quite beautiful. What is the molecule in "Molecular Study?" Does the substance have any significance or is it purely esthetic?

Kinda lame, maybe as his work develops he will gain more structure. Right now it is nothing special.
