Based on the traditional school of Czech studio glass art – established by the old masters such as Stanislav Libenský & Jaroslava Brychtová and Vladimír Kopecký – he has developed his very own style in the processing and shaping of glass. He concentrates on the technique of glass melting and clearly structured designs, geometric forms that are influenced strongly by the architecture that fascinates Wasserbauer.

Jaroslav Wasserbauer loves to play with the material’s transparency. He likes to work with the effects of light and shadow and mat surfaces. Colors are important to him as well. Predominantly he uses subdued crystal, blue, and smoky tones, rarely green or red hues. But he does not want color to dominate. The sculpture’s abstract shape always plays the major role.
