Mats Jonasson's talent for drawing was recognized early on, and he began working as an apprentice engraver at the glassworks in 1959. In the decades that followed, he collaborated with several of the great contemporary glass artists. At the same time, he developed a naturalistic style that he has since refined to perfection.
"Our forests have always shaped people's souls," says Mats Jonasson. Inspired by this natural world, he created his distinctive crystal objects with an open mind. Today, the son of the glass factory is represented all over the world.
