Camille Jacobs

Camille Jacobs lives and works in Keispelt, Luxembourg. It is through following a long path of experimentations that Camille developed her passion for this complex and sometimes unpredictable material that is glass. Trained in the art of stained glass (Saint-Luc Fine Arts Institute in Ghent), her interest for flat glass evolves to three-dimensional objects with refined forms and often geometric inspiration. Nature, environment and its dangers, science, and music become paradoxically inspiration sources: in them, she explores the notion of abstraction in relation with the issues of colour and its theories. Form, dimensions and colours gather in harmony.

Technically, Camille’s creations are made of multiple layers of flat glass hot lacquered and enamelled. Different motives and colours are applied by serigraphy on each layer of glass. After comes the blending by the fusion in an oven of the glass layers to obtain a flat and homogenous mass. This compact glass mass is finally shaped by thermoforming, the finish being assured by the polishing. His distinctive works were soon exhibited in galleries across Europe, as far afield as Japan and even Australia.
