Innovator in a world of mythological images
Humour, playfulness and joy characterise Kjell Engman’s artistry. The child within is captivated by his
fantasy animals of glass, carefully shaped by Tuomo Nieminen in the blowing room. The collaboration between
artist and glassblower is a close one. In his sculptures, light is a vital presence, but so are colour
nuances and a design language of refined pattern combinations and surfaces. “I have worked to capture the
movement and reinforce the expression of the figures with the light. They have a kind of rhythm,” Kjell
explains. Born in 1946. Designer at Kosta Boda since 1978 with a studio at the Boda glassworks.
