Viv Szakacs/ Women Art

Viv Szakacs is a North East–based artist, born in Hungary, working mainly with lampworked borosilicate glass. Her practice is shaped by a close attention to the natural world and the quiet details that often go unnoticed. Flowers appear throughout her work, not as decoration but as markers of memory, place and personal change.

She uses glass to explore how memories are held and reshaped over time. The balance of fragility and strength within borosilicate reflects the way memories can feel both delicate and enduring. Through flame and careful handwork, she creates intricate forms that capture fleeting moments and give them a lasting presence. Each piece becomes a small record of growth, time and lived experience.
