Daybreak Mirror by Boldizar Senteski

Daybreak mirror by Boldizar Senteski Dimensions: W 10 x H 200 cm Materials: oxidized silver, glass Growing up in Budapest, Boldizar Senteski was influenced by the eclectic environment of the city where post soviet brutalism blends with the elements of a once prosperous monarchic era. Boldizar creates his unique and limited edition collectible design pieces by incorporating fragments from the urban landscape. He celebrates the simultaneous existence of past and future, passing and renewal, decay and flourishment. Boldizar uses alchemy and praises uncalculated errors while he lets materials shape themselves. Bridging the contrast between intentional and unintentional, traditional and progressive, craftsmanship and industrial solutions. Boldizar started experimenting with mirroring surfaces back in University, where he was researching human perception. How we perceive ourselves and what surrounds us inspired his first Mirror Collection which resulted in his graduation work of four fading Mirror pieces using the ancient technique of silver mirror making. Since then he has been exploring the technique and shaping it to his own image where the oxidation process of the silver is highlighted and uncalculated errors and shapes are celebrated. Using alchemy, each mirror piece is a handmade creation, placing the “mirror paintings” somewhere between art and functional design. Photo Credit: Andras Ladocsi.
