Bertil Vallien's work is transcendental in nature — imagined journeys which take us into the realm of the subconscious. His metaphysical Boats transport universal images, and these archetypal symbols speak on a primal level. The results are almost alchemical transformations, spanning from the primary material of sand, to the ethereal qualities of light transference through glass, to that of stone and metal. He continues to explore the range of possibilities of sandcasting techniques through continuous experimentation while advancing his artistic language.
