Unique and timeless, these stunning three dimensional art worksare resplendent of sparking gemstones: facets and symmetries shimmer ascolours of the rainbow bounce off their bevelled edges when they aretouched by natural and artificial light. Adding majesty to any space inwhich they are displayed, a Zakay keepsake regularly decorates homes,balconies, corporate foyers and hotels around the world. Founding artistAsaf Zakay's pursuit of creative and aesthetic excellence has resultedin three dimensional glass designs that capture the essence of nature.

Using the stained glass technique (a process Asaf studied whilst in hisnative Israel) each magnificent creation is a sacred symbol, evolvingfrom natural geometric patterns. Asaf's creations continue to inspireand with a new gallery in Bangalow he's aiming to continue his growth inthe comtemporary lighting space. Zakay Glass Creations already boasts aclient list that includes Jamie Durie, Austin Hospital OlivaNewton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre and artist David Bromley.

These glass formations merge the modern with the esoteric, as structuralmodernism gives form to internal reflections on love. Coming intopresence with such work is a reminder of the profound harmony of sacredratios – Zakay creations organically reference the same rules that theMona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci was painted by and the architecturaldesign of the Parthenon was built. The company portfolio now includes 20different shapes using a variety of intricate bevelled methods – andhas now also expanded to incorporate ground-breaking lighting within thesculptures along with a new range of handblown German glass bespokerange. On his new relationship with light the artist only says ‘It islike coming out of the shadows, a light is like a companion, you livewith it, you build a relationship. It's much more than a source of lightto me.’
