Bio Lior Vagima  

Bertil VallienLior Vagima, born in Israel in 1976, discovered the world of glass through a flame working course he took at Alex Arbell's studio in Ein Hod. This discovery led him in 2005 to Venice, to the studio of the grand master of glasswork, Lucio Bubbaco who has been his mentor ever since. Lior creates small scale sculptures and, like Bubacco, he uses the flame working technique which he combines with cast glass.

In his current series, Giving Birth, Lior deals with the theme of motherhood, and tries to depict the significance of women to the circle of life along with confronting the different roles and challenges women face. Lior recognized the emotional and painful intensity, with an overall sense of satisfaction, when he witnessed his close friend give birth to her baby. Rather than commenting on such intense feelings of childbirth, Lior's series represents the act of childbirth itself and the early formation of an eternal bond between mother and child.

Lior is currently a staff member and also teaches glass working at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. He works have been exhibited in the Eretz Israel Museum along with various galleries.
