Meeli Koiva-Mery Crystal Ra
So it was not without some sound foundation, that International author Mike Al-Amiry, described this site as “A safe haven of arts and culture” which sits proudly as part of our heading. Therefore as the editor of this site, I am truly delighted to present to you and welcome, an outstanding Internationally renowned artist and soon to be contributor, who will shortly grace our pages with her artistic imagination, ideas and stories of her work.
She is world famous artist Meeli Koiva, who also uses the artist name Mery Crystal Ra, a glass sculptor, painter and lighting artist. She has been examining the possibilities of combining glass and light to extraordinary pieces of artwork for already more than 25 years, thus being a pioneer in this area. She has created her highly innovative work of art in Europe and in the USA for private residences and public buildings.
The philosophy of Meeli Koiva’s work is a constantly changing glass environment via innovative glass and light art. Luminosity, spontaneity and motion are qualities that immediately come to mind when viewing the abstract work of Meeli Koiva.
The components of water, shadow, reflections and light are integral to Koiva’s works.
The philosophical questions about ephemeral-permanent through our lives. Profound sense of freedom, energy/synergy between people, power/passion, flexibility and depth.
Meeli Koiva’s glass sculptures often create the illusion that the space around them is constantly transforming. This impression is achieved thanks to her vigorous use of innovative materials and technologies. Keeping up-to-date with the research results in the glass industry gives a fresh feel and new sensitivity to her sculptures. The artist’s masterful use of the interplay of graphics and colour gives a result with a unique handwriting.
The light feeling of Meeli Koiva’s works is achieved by long testing and experimenting. Meeli Koiva’s glass and light sculptures and glass paintings/glass printings are born through every-day cooperation with the world’s leading glass producers and lighting companies, with scientists and engineers.
Her last years most famous innovative glass-light sculptures were created for the European Parliament main building exhibition in Brussels, Belgium 2006 and the Glaston Corporation headquarters in Finland, Tampere 2009.
Meeli Koiva has earned a reputation as one of the leading glass-light innovators, widely acclaimed for her unique graphic, line quality and use of colour.
