Bubblegum Vase

The Bubblegum vase belongs to the Narcissus collection, which consists of silver mirrored vases with hand-painted portraits made of densely blown and broken glass.

The vases consist of two parts: the inner vase, created by a special silver plating technology, and its shell with the portrait. The artist first painted the outer parts of the vases with portraits of people we meet every day. They laugh, chew a chewing gum, send air kisses or wonder about something. Marieta then smashed the portrait parts with a hammer to achieve the fragmentation that connects the viewer's image to the painting. Each one is original in painting, colour combination and breakage, so each motif exists only once.
