Ans works from her home studio on the tranquil Spanish island of Mallorca, surrounded by beautiful flora, lush greenery, and (almost) constant sunshine. Through the colors, patterns, and textures in her glass-fused creations, one can easily observe how Ans’ surroundings have influenced her work. And, her work is indeed as diverse as her surroundings! From flora to fruit, from fish to salamander, and from geometric to organic patterns, Ans’ love for the natural world is undeniable and present throughout all of her work. In fact, other natural materials are frequently combined with her finished products. Wood or natural stone from local sources on the island are often used as supportive bases for her glass pieces.
Ans’ creations range from small jewelry to large bowls and plates, and all kinds of figurative and decorative objects, as well as 'special projects' for public places like schools, town halls, and shops.
