For Marketa Silena, of the Czech Republic, a graduate of Stanislav Libensky,
glass is "the only" material, because of its multiple possibilities. It allows
her to create dense, cast pieces and polished prism. In her sculptures,
as in her jewelry, it is combination of glass, in its many manifestations,
with metals, that interest her.
