SIMONE KESTELMAN
About
Simone Kestelman was born and raised in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She started working with ceramics when she was seven, and dedicated her free time to arts. In 1993 she moved to Sao Paulo and, in 1995, after her second child was born, she decided to dedicate her life exclusively to her artistic career. Her first solo exhibition was in 1998, at Sergio Caribe Gallery. Other exhibitions include the A Hebraica Gallery (1999/2011), the Parahauss Contemporary Art Glass, and international exhibits in Boca Raton-US and Chile.
When she first came into contact with glass in 2008, her artistic production and her career changed. After receiving trainament at The Pilchuck Glass School, Eugene Glass School, Corning Museum, and spending hours experimenting, Simone achieved a high technical standard with fusing, casting and cold work. Simone’s work now can be found in the permanent collection of the Newark Museum of Art, private collections in Brazil and Europe.

SIMONE KESTELMAN has a long track record in the design area and has been developing her art for many years. In her current creative phase, she discusses the topics of fear, protection and masks. The masks are to protect from fear: the fear of being alone, and the fear of death. Through these themes, Simone discusses various issues, such as violence, pain, love, relationships, friendship, and researches materials to best represent them.
Glass and ceramics are always present in her work as symbols of fragility. In this way, she represents humans by placing them in a given situation for reflection.
