Glass painting is an age-old craft that was traditionally used to decorate the windows of Medieval cathedrals.

However, modern-day Ukraine-based artist Maria (ofArtMasha) puts a contemporary spin on the art form.

She uses 3D glass objects as her canvas, transforming otherwise mundane items into colorful works of art.

She creates hand-painted glass mugs that celebrate the beauty of nature.

Each element is rendered in glossy, translucent hues and outlined in gold, non-toxic paint.

Similarly to stained-glass windows, vibrant patterns are reflected onto nearby surfaces when sunlight hits one of Marias creations.

I love working with glass very much because of the play of light and colored glass, says Maria.

It’s so magic and awesome!

For Maria, making art is a way to feel connected to nature.
