Lukas Houdek

I wanted to be like Modigliani. I just wanted to be like him, because he had a simple portraits. They sat and had their hands as they lay hands or so. So I bought a book Modigliani that I inspire, and there I accidentally learned that he wanted to be like Velasquez. So I bought Velasquez, but he wanted to be like Botticelli, Botticelli and Michelangelo again.

I graduated at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Nowadays I cooperate with the HG ATELIER DESIGN studio led by my brother Filip Houdek. In my artistic work I seek for a combination of materials . It is a dialog between of product design and fine art. I em enthusiastic about glass and light, traditional materials and high quality craftsmanship. I search for new applications for traditional glass elements. I focus on the topics of the pop-culture and parody. Hyperboles and jokes are characteristic to me. My aim is to give to the things a spirit and to raise them to beloved objects.
