Brains Mercurius

Brains Mercurius by Bertil Vallien, Kosta Boda, is a work of art with strong presence and movement – a sculpture that both captivates and touches. Each piece is handmade in Kosta, Småland, which means that no two sculptures are alike. The glass is shaped, colored and refined by skilled craftsmen, and it is this manual work that creates the sculpture's unique expression and soul.

The face has a detail in genuine silver, a material that changes over time and shifts towards grey or copper-like tones. This is completely natural – and a conscious part of Bertil Vallien’s artistic idea. Just as we humans develop and change throughout life, he lets his sculptures do the same. The change is not a flaw, but part of the work’s story.

Brain's Mercurius is more than a sculpture – it is a living object that continues to evolve, interpret time and reflect its own journey through the years.
