In 1981, gifted engraving artist Mats Jonasson and a group of supporters saved the failing 100-year-old Maleras glassworks in Sweden, and have since built Jonasson's singular balance of creative inspiration and finely honed craftsmanship into a world-renowned purveyor of stunning, evocative crystal wildlife and Art Deco sculptures. Swedish artist Mats Jonasson's unique Wildlife Art Glass Crystals are inspired by the beauty and color of the natural world. Mats Jonasson's talent as a designer attracted attention early on, when he started work as an apprentice engraver at The Glass Works in 1959. Over the next few decades he worked with many of the most respected contemporary glass artists in Sweden. During this period, he developed the natural style which he has since perfected. "Our forests have captured the hearts and minds of people since time immemorial," says Mats. Inspired by the natural world around him, he has opened his mind to create his distinctive masterpieces in the finest Swedish crystal.
