About Shimon Peleg
After more than 20 years as a professor, Shimon Peleg chose to follow his passion and began his second career as a glass artist. Since 2006, Shimon Peleg has impressed the art world with his creative light fixtures, vitrage and abstract art pieces. He creates glass material from the inspiration of his surrounding. His art is a reflection of what he sees in nature.
“Glass is a material with simplicity, mystery and challenge. My challenge is to lead glass into unique colors and shapes while keeping the qualities, originality and transparency of the material. As a farmer and earth lover, I drive my passion directly from nature. Nature is abundant and endless in it’s colors, textures and visions”. (Shimon Peleg)
About The Glass
In Peleg’s studio, glass becomes a flexible material that is fused and shaped to create exclusive designs. His technique is a unique one, as it has been developed over many years of continuous experimentation.
The glass obtains its vibrant colors during the fusing process, so the colors are an integral part of the glass. There is no fading or possible scraping of the color- it will not change over time. Each vibrant hue is completely embedded within the glass.
