Mats Jonasson Tidigt uppmärksammades Mats Jonassons tecknartalang och han började arbeta som gravörlärling vid glasbruket redan 1959. Under följande decennier arbetade han med flera av samtidens stora glaskonstnärer. Han utvecklade samtidigt den naturnära stil som han sedan dess förfinat till fulländning. “Våra skogar har sedan urminnes tider påverkat folksjälen”, säger Mats Jonasson. Inspirerad av denna natur har han med öppna sinnen skapat sina särpräglade objekt i kristall. Idag är glasbrukets son representerad över hela världen. Mats Jonasson’s talent as a designer attracted attention early on, when he started work as an apprentice engraver at the glassworks in 1959. Over the next few decades he worked with many of the most respected contemporary glass artists in Sweden. During this period, he developed that natural style of his which he’s since perfected. “Our forests have captured the hearts and minds of people since time immemorial”, says Mats. Inspired by the natural world around him, he has opened his mind to create his distinctive masterpieces in the finest Swedish crystal. Nowadays, this son of the glassworks is represented all over the world.
