Vicky Uslé's 'Hefesto' at House of Chappaz Explores Glass and Photography
Vicky Uslé, who hails from Santander and was born in 1981, is presenting her latest work titled 'Hefesto' at the House of Chappaz in Barcelona. This exhibition marks a departure from her usual painting and photography, as she teams up with artisan Sara Sorribes to experiment with glass as a medium. Uslé describes her creative process as instinctive and playful, aiming for a sense of calm. The interplay between photography and glass creates a unified collection that echoes her previous works shown at Sala Robayera in Cantabria. She views her past materials as outdated and finds glass to evoke memories of light and reflection from her childhood. Uslé aspires to capture the essence of creation and destruction, stating, "Every piece reflects my inner self, the liquid within me."
