Hector M. Flores Statement

My work in glass sculpture is based on the abstraction of some issues more often considered complex or mystical, found in the physical order in the nature, as the phenomena occurring in outer space or ancient ideas that inhabit the imagination of man expressed in a playful way in a symbiosis of light and shadow that invite the viewer, feeding his fascination with optical phenomena, to question, and intuitively create their own answers in a metaphoric and imaginative way. In my work I use a subtle blend of seemingly opposing materials such as: glass, marble and metals.
