About Marcela

I'm Marcela Rosemberg, a glass artist and designer originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2003, I immigrated to Canada and fell in love with the natural beauty of the Canadian waterscapes that surrounded me. My Jewish faith also inspires much of my work, and I strive to bring a sense of tranquility and peace to each piece I create.

The creative process for glass art demands both technical skills and emotional sensitivity to the material. I believe that beauty, simplicity, elegance, and functionality are essential components of my designs. In my studio in Toronto, I'm always on the lookout for the perfect blend of colour and texture that will bring each of my designs to life.

One of the things I love most about glass is the way it behaves like a living being. By treating glass with respect and not pushing it, I'm able to understand its flow, displacement, behavior, and action up to its most intricate inner part – its core. That's why I always say, "Each time a piece leaves my studio, I feel a little bit of my soul is going with it."

It's an honour to have my artwork sold around the world and to be a part of several public and private collections. If you're searching for a stunning piece of decor, I invite you to explore my collection and experience the magic of glass art for yourself.
