Made For

Collectors

Original works and bespoke commissions built through the slow craft of painting on the back of glass, where gold, pigment, and changing light become part of the room.

Collector Release

Original one-of-one works available in a tightly held release rather than a broad catalogue.

Commission Path

Bespoke pieces shaped around wall scale, light direction, and the mood a room should hold after dark.

Architectural Reach

Panels and installation studies that extend the same language into devotional, residential, and hospitality interiors.

Studio Sequence

A scroll-led look at how light becomes image.

The story moves from room atmosphere to surface detail, then into the finished painting and finally the architectural scale it can carry.

Blue-hour art studio with a luminous reverse-painted glass panel, pigments, and gilding tools
01 · Atelier

An evening atelier with reflective glass, pigments, and gilding tools frames the mood before the painting is even touched.

The room sets the first emotional temperature.

Before a piece is chosen or commissioned, the studio thinks about the kind of light it will live in. Blue hour, lamplight, wall tone, and distance all change the surface.

02 · Process

Pigment sheen, gold leaf, and the cut edge of glass reveal how the surface is built in reverse rather than corrected in layers.

Detail is placed first and buried under everything that follows.

Reverse glass painting moves in the opposite order of canvas. The highlight arrives first, then line, then color, then the final backing that seals the image behind glass.

03 · Painting

The Empress of Roses shows how gold, glass, and dark passages create a glow that shifts with the room around it.

The finished image feels lit from inside instead of sitting on top.

Finished works hold a different kind of presence because the eye is always looking through glass into the painting rather than only at its surface.

04 · Placement

Installed glass panels move from object to atmosphere, changing the feel of a space as natural light travels across them.

A collector piece can scale into architecture without losing intimacy.

The same visual language can live as a focal collector work, a commission sized to a wall, or an installation-led panel designed around the architecture itself.

Selected Works

Distinct moods, each designed to hold light in a different way.

The available release stays intentionally narrow so each piece can be placed with care. Some collectors arrive for a finished work; others use the release as the starting point for a commission.

2023 · Reverse glass painting, oil, gold leaf

The Empress of Roses

A regal figure in profile adorned with wings, roses, and ornate gold filigree. Painted in reverse on glass with rich amber, crimson, and teal tones. The Art Nouveau composition draws from Persian miniature traditions, with every petal and feather laid down in reverse order.

Luminous Peacock

A majestic peacock rendered in deep blues and teals, its plumage cascading in flowing Art Nouveau curves. The warm amber and gold background creates a luminous halo effect when illuminated from behind, showcasing the translucent depth unique to reverse glass painting.

Moonlight Jester

A whimsical harlequin perched on a crescent moon, peering through binoculars into the night. Bold red and yellow against translucent glass, with the word 'MOONLIGHT' framing the composition. When backlit, the moon glows from within.

Installation Studies

Reverse-painted glass can sit as a collector object or extend into a window, transom, niche, or architectural focal wall.

Commission Path

Start with the wall, the light, and the feeling you want the room to keep.

The most successful commission conversations usually begin with a room photo, rough dimensions, and a sense of whether the finished work should feel devotional, atmospheric, graphic, or quietly luminous after dark.

Timeline

Most commissions move in a 6 to 12 week window once direction is approved.

Structure

Concept, proposal, creation, and delivery with clear checkpoints rather than constant revision loops.

Reach

Collector commissions, site-specific pieces, and installation-led interiors worldwide.
