Blue Mood 1-3/5"

The Object "Blue Mood" is a nocturnal dreamscape encased in glass. The piece is defined by its dramatic background—a swirling, deep-water blue vortex that creates a moody, atmospheric canvas. Against this dark depth, Hernburg has layered a vibrant, almost neon ecosystem. The bouquet features striking azure blooms with crimson centers, offset by splashes of coral orange and verdant green foliage. Fluttering amongst this dense garden are delicate winged figures—butterflies detailed in orange and yellow—that add a sense of fleeting movement to the scene. It is a study in contrast, placing bright, living energy against a backdrop of deep, quiet blue.

The Artist Elena Hernburg is a distinguished glass artist living and working in Cetinje, Montenegro. While many artists focus on scale, Hernburg’s focus is on the intimacy of the object—creating intricate beads, pendants, and marbles defined by rich, finely detailed compositions. Her work is the result of years of refinement; every element is crafted by hand using proprietary lampwork techniques she has developed specifically to achieve superior clarity and depth. The result is a body of work that balances technical mastery with a touch of wonder.
