site.btaExhibition Explores Artistic and Functional Potential of Glass

Stained glass and fused glass works will be presented by artist and designer Ekaterina "Ina" Stoycheva in her exhibition The Will of Glass. The show opens at Sofia's Art Gallery 158 on June 30 at 7pm and will remain on display until July 6, Mina Glass Art said.

Visitors will be able to view glass objects, mirrors with artist-designed frames and decorative interior design solutions. According to Stoycheva, the exhibition is conceived as an encounter with "the charm of glass and living art in the interior".

Ekaterina "Ina" Stoycheva works primarily in the fields of interior and product design. In her creative practice, she combines artistic and functional solutions aimed at integrating art into everyday living environments. Her works include mirrors, lighting fixtures, wall clocks, glass panels and paintings, decorative tiles, interior doors, furniture elements and household items.

According to the artist, glass is playing an increasingly important role in contemporary interiors by combining aesthetic value with practical functionality. Most of the objects she creates are unique pieces produced as bespoke commissions. In recent years, Stoycheva has also developed comprehensive interior design concepts in which art and functionality are brought together within a unified artistic environment.
