Amazing Glass Artist Simon Berger

Swiss artist Simon Berger has been working with portraits made out of glass for four years. It's a process that requires delicately hammering his canvas to create just the right cracks. Sometimes it takes him one try, but other times it can take him up to five.

Glass is pretty much monochromatic, so the secret to making the portraits pop is creating dimension through light and dark sections. He's developed his techniques through trial and error. To get the depth he wants, he now has a clear idea of how many times he has to hit the glass. To minimise the chances of shattering his canvas, Simon works with laminated safety glass.

I'm an artist, and that is not that difficult or impressive. No different in me doing a painting, you just have to apply the paint/hammer in the tight place!
