"Montañas y nieve"

This is my new artwork called “Montañas y nieve (mountains and snow)”, I bent this glass tube without a pattern, just by looking at my sketch on my iPad, It was a fun challenge that I enjoyed it so much, I don’t normally bend this way but I remember that day I was open to do something different on my process.

The idea of this “painting” came up in January 2020, I went snowshoeing to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and I couldn’t chose a better day to do it, it was beautiful and sunny, still cold but beareble, it was my first time practicing this activity too; while I was going up hill, I noticed the reflection of the sun in the snow and that got my attention really bad, I never really felt so attracted to that before although I’ve seen it many times here in New York. So I ended up taking a couple pictures of it to bring home with me and enjoyed the rest of the adventure in the snowy mountains, that inspired me to make this beautiful artwork, I used diminutive reflective glass beads that creates a similar light reflection effect, I hope you like appreciate it, i’m happy with how it came out, is just like my sketch.

Kiss,

Teresa.
