artist statement
At Maria Ida Designs, I craft bold, colourful, and unique glass pieces that embody a maximalist aesthetic, blending craftsmanship with creativity. As a glassblower, I create handmade works that are design-forward yet unpretentious, with each piece carefully shaped to be one-of-a-kind. My art celebrates the beauty of individuality, the vibrancy of colour, and the joy of original, handcrafted designs. Through my work, I invite others to appreciate the transformative power of glass and the energy of playful, unapologetic design.
