Javier Gómez makes use laminated glass as a basis for his creative expression; he is currently one of the most important glass artists of Spain. As a true evangelist he is committed himself to promote the many possibilities of ‘glass art’ in Spain and abroad.

 

The realisation of glass sculptures by Javier Gómez is built up out of different stages. First, after a long period of meditation he makes a first artistic drawing of the sculpture that he desires to construct. Subsequently he investigates the feasibility by several technical drawings. Finally he decides upon the type and colour of glass he wishes to use, in combination with the respective glass techniques.

 

By gluing the differently shaped glass plates together, Javier realises his often very complex and daring designs. Trained in the workshop of his family's company, which produced window glass, he shows his perfect command of the basic cold glass techniques (grinding, cutting and polishing), combined with other techniques such as sanding, or treating the glass with acid. As a result he is able to change the individual character of the glass in such a way that it sometimes appears to be a completely different material.

 

Javier Gomez’s sculptures are abstract representations, sometimes tending towards the figurative. In the tension field between interior and exterior, the endless number of different shapes surprise us over and over again and invites us to observe the pieces of art from all possible angles.

 

Javier Gómez demonstrates a technical and creative maturity that is based on effort and perseverance. Believing in himself, his work and his unlimited possibilities made him one of the leading glass artists in many countries all over the world, where his work enjoys a well-deserved recognition.
