Vita

Andreas Döringer

Glass is a fascinating medium with its unique characteristics and holds a very special place in my life. It encourages me to experiment with its never ending formes and colours. I try to control the flow/movement of the glass by using innovative techniques based on experience and trail & error. Much of my inspiration is taken from nature whether the wonders of underwater lifer or the rugged peaks of mountains in my home country Austria. These impressions are incorporated into my creations und reflected in my works of art.
