DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Manufacture and restoration of traditional leaded stained glass windows and with the Tiffany technique. 

The stained glass window does not emerge as an isolated art, but essentially integrated into architecture. It arises from the need to close openings between structural elements providing light into the inside via a translucent element. Thus, an aesthetic, symbolic and transcendental solution is reached. 

The traditional technique for the manufacture of stained glass windows merely comprises the following steps: first drawing a 1/1 real-size scale draft, then cutting of the templates in cardboard, after that, cutting the glass, and finally the processes of painting, firing, leading up and setting of the glass. 

As light goes right through the glass pieces, these elements give colour to the inside of the building. The tones of the colours merge together, multiplying the possibilities and the chromatic variety of the reduced colours of glass. 

The stained glass window, because it actually depends on the light from the outside, is far from being a finalised piece of work which only offers one possibility when contemplating it. The changes in light, a major or lesser intensity of it, the sky – which on occasions acts as an actual filter of the light -, make stained glass windows an art, presenting a vast number of possibilities. 

It is almost impossible to admire a stained glass window twice in the same way.
