In the midst of the interplay between copper, lead, stained glass, glass beads and tin filaments, you will find an age old craft re-invented into contemporary art.
The creative force behind ArtisVere, Sabina Rak, is an emerging stained glass and glass mosaic artist based in Montreal, Quebec. She creates works which border conceptual art. In fact, part of her production could be described as simply conceptual art if it were not for the older technique she employs, that of the Tiffany stained glass. This technique, however, is taken to a different level each time a piece is created. The artist does not seem to be bound by the concepts which govern traditional stained glass and manages to incorporate more innovations and explorations at each stage of her artistic pursuit.
Sabina Rak has a B.A. in Art History from McGill University and a Masters in Art History from Concordia University. She is VP and member of the editorial committee of the Cahiers métiers d'art*Craft Journal. For an up-to-date resumé, please consult my website.
