Born in 1986, Jaroslav Prosek is a young Czech crystal artist. He works in Ceska Lipa in Northern Bohemia, in the heart of Czech glass industry. He specialises in designing and creating unique glass sculptures, but he also works with other materials, such as wood, stainless steel or marble.

Jaroslav Prosek is not a typical artist, who loves art from childhood, is consistently educated and does practice work. Jaroslav Prosek's journey to the world of glass art took some time. He was always manually skilled.

After secondary school he worked in the technical departments of big Czech factories. There he improved his manual skills and learned to fix any problem before the final product is done.

He found out that products can not be only well made, but also aesthetic, created by hand from the most luxurious material to the first-class art products. Then he started to make his first designs of glass sculptures.

At the beginning of his art career he had an opportunity to learn basic skills in Vlastimil Beranek's and Jan Frydrych's ateliers. Their influence on Jaroslav Prosek's work is obvious. Some of his sculptures are simple shaped, sometimes inspired by the sea like Beranek's sculptures. On the contrary, Prosek's experimentation with optical glass comes from Jan Frydrych.

Jaroslav Prosek uses several technics to create his sculptures: melting in mold, grinding, engraving. Choice of glass technique depends on the sculpture's shape which he wants to create. Inspirations for his sculptures come from nature, the sea, yachting and also things used for normal consumption. When something inspired him, he make a small wooden model of the shape and according to it, he creates the final sculpture.

Although his art career does not last long, Jaroslav Prosek has already his own reputation in the Czech Republic and slowly create his reputation on the international market.
