About

Olga Gobernik Kon is a glass artist based in Princeton, New Jersey. Working with transparent glass, she creates mosaics that interact with natural light — shifting, refracting, and transforming throughout the day.

With a background in architecture, she approaches glass as both structure and emotion. She describes her process as “painting in glass,” where light becomes an active participant in each piece. Unlike traditional wall-mounted mosaics, her works are illuminated from within by sunlight, creating movement, depth, and changing atmospheres as the light evolves.

Her compositions are often inspired by memory, nature, architecture, and inner emotional landscapes. Through layered fragments of colored glass, she explores the balance between fragility and strength, silence and intensity, spontaneity and control.

Rather than telling viewers exactly what to see, Olga invites them to experience the work through their own emotions and imagination. Each piece becomes a quiet dialogue between light, material, and personal perception.
