Black Elements – House of Mystery By Bertil Vallien | Kosta Boda Artist Collection

In Bertil Vallien’s world, glass becomes a vessel for thought and spirit — a material that reveals as much as it conceals. In Black Elements: House of Mystery, clear glass meets the depth of an opaque black plinth, creating a striking interplay of light and darkness.Each piece is cast in a charcoal mold and encases Vallien’s renowned hand-painted head, suspended within a solid block of glass — a timeless symbol of reflection and the unknown.

A powerful expression of Vallien’s mastery, House of Mystery invites contemplation of the boundaries between transparency and secrecy, fragility and permanence.
