Inspira Glass Creations
has been the exclusive importer of this collection to the U.S. for several years. Its creator is Anca Florea Podaru,
a formally trained artist whose first career was in designing sets for theater and film. Her artistry
begins with the design of colorful free-form mouth-blown opaque glass. Each piece is mouthblown by master
glassblowers, hand-painted with original nature-inspired designs and then overlaid with copper. Subsequent
layers are then added to the copper and the final touch is a beautiful iridescent patina. The process
is highly technical but at the same time difficult to control. The result is a wonderful variety of breathtaking
shapes, colors and finishes, no two of which are ever exactly alike. Each piece is signed with the artist’s
“AMA” trademark and comes with a certificate of authenticity and biography.
