ABOUT PETRA SOPHIA ROFFEL
I am an artist based in Zeeland, the Netherlands, specialising in glass. My work visualises the tension between the material and the immaterial and, within that tension, the subtle recognition that all is ultimately one.
My creative process is meditative, rooted in stillness and contemplation. I begin with an idea, a feeling, or a line of poetry. Through borosilicate glass torchwork, I create fluid, delicate forms that feel light and ethereal, while kiln-cast glass adds weight, density, and solidity. Pâte de verre enables me to explore the contrast between bloom and decay. Together, these techniques create a dialogue between presence and invisible essence, expressed through rounded shapes and universal metaphors.
This dialogue leads me towards a deeper awareness, an experience I invite viewers to share, one that begins with quiet reflection and leads, ultimately, toward connection.
