Bio:
Bertil Vallien (born 1938) is a Swedish glass artist and designer internationally recognised for his experimental approach to glassmaking. He graduated from Konstfack in Stockholm in 1961 and began his long-standing collaboration with Åfors Glassworks in 1963, which later became part of Kosta Boda. Vallien developed a distinctive artistic language focusing on surface textures, colours and sculptural forms. He is particularly renowned for his sand-cast glass sculptures and iconic boat forms, but has also created an extensive range of decorative vases and functional glass objects. His works are represented in museums and collections worldwide.
