A Workaholic Whose Passion Lies in Glass Art

“Creativity is experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules,

making mistakes, and having Fun.” – Mary Lou Cook, Actress.

Glass, though fragile is

fascinating to look at! History

of glass-making dates back to

the ancient Mesopotamia, some 3600

years ago. It was then extensively

popularized and developed in Egypt

and Assyria as a decorative and

functional element. It was used to

make beads, jewellery, and fine dining

pieces and more. In the middle ages,

the art of using glass or Glass Art took

new shape.

The Norman and Gothic Cathedrals in

Europe used stained glasses as a major

architectural and decorative element to

accentuate the beauty of these

Cathedrals. Glass from Murano,

Venetia, known as just Venetian Glass,

is a result of years of continuous

experiments, refinements and defines

glass in its full glory. The early 19th

century saw the old art glass movement

at its peak with great Studios or

Ateliers like Tiffany, Lalique, Daum

and Galle taking it to new levels.

Hardwork and Persistence

Personified

To give glass its defining or creative

form, it must go through extremities

that shape and design it. These high

temperatures and pressure might be

extreme, but it helps glass to come out

in its glorious form. Similar is the story

of Glass Artist, Moiz Arsiwala who

achieved his dreams after going

through life’s refinery. He is what the

world describes as a creative person -

ambitious, experimenter, learner, risk

taker, rule-breaker and above all hard

worker.

And like many artists, he too has an

inspiration or muse – Glass. Moiz’s

love for glass started as a child. His

family was associated with glass and it

works for 85 years in Mumbai. A

change of place brought a change in

lives. They shifted to Bangalore and

his father left the ancestral work. Moiz,

who had developed a fascination with

glass, kept asking his father to start

afresh, but his father insisted on him

having a formal education first.

Years changed, and so did Moiz’s

qualification, but what did not change

was his passion for glass. At the

crossroads, to start a corporate job as

Each and

every day

is an

achievement

when you

are sustaining

in such

a competitive

market, and

making your

company grow
