Talented Artist Simon Berger Creates Unusual Works Of Art By Shattering Glass Into Portraits
Is there hope after destruction? If we try to look at the positive side of life, we realize that destruction isn’t the end of everything. Swiss artist Simon Berger proves that there is life after destruction through his shattered glass art. In fact, Berger believes that art can emerge from the destruction of the familiar. By smashing glass panes, this innovative artist creates remarkable portraits out of the glass cracks.

Contemporary artists have soared beyond conventional mediums and traditional techniques in art. Today, even the most unusual of things can be used as alternatives to canvas for painting. Berger, in particular, chooses glass panes as his canvas. Instead of using paints to draw portraits, he uses a hammer and a chisel to create cracks on the glass. As a trained carpenter, he dexterously can handle carpentry tools to create stunning shattered glass art.
Simon’s shattered glass art project titled Defekt was recently exhibited at Philipp Brogli’s gallery Artstübli in Basel, Switzerland. And photos of the extraordinary glass portrait scattered on social media like a wildfire. Passersby initially think that the glass portrait was a sticker. But a closer look made them realize that the portrait was drawn by actual cracks on the glass pane. Of course, it needs to be captured and shared on the internet for the world to see.
