Art Glass • Collectible Sculpture
Gold has long held symbolic power in glassmaking, traditionally used as a subtle accent or decorative detail. In My Palace: Golden Head, Bertil Vallien allows gold to take center stage. The head figure is fully enveloped in a luminous golden sheen, evoking the presence of an ancient relic while radiating modern brilliance. The result is both mesmerizing and otherworldly.
The gilded head rests within Vallien’s iconic solid-cast, cube-shaped “house”—a recurring universe in his artistic practice. These sculptural forms explore themes of space, presence, and mystery. Within the glass, the viewer senses something floating: a head, a sphere, or sometimes only emptiness. Through decades of experimentation, Vallien invites us to experience glass in its most evocative form—playful, luminous, and nearly impossible.
