House of Mystery – Black By Bertil Vallien | Kosta Boda Artist Collection
n House of Mystery – Black, Bertil Vallien explores the quiet tension between darkness and light — a meditation on what lies hidden and what is revealed. Within the solid block of glass, Vallien’s hand-painted head floats in suspended stillness, a haunting symbol of introspection and the unknown.Cast in a charcoal mold and resting on a deep black plinth, this piece contrasts the luminous clarity of glass with the absorbing depth of shadow. The result is a sculpture that feels both ancient and timeless — a vessel for secrets, reflection, and the quiet poetry of form.
Part of the Kosta Boda Artist Collection, House of Mystery – Black exemplifies Vallien’s mastery of glass as a storytelling medium, where material becomes metaphor and mystery becomes art.
