Bibi Smit (1965, NL) is a Dutch glass artist and designer. Her work explores the patterns, rhythms and colours of movement in nature. Her creative process is focused on the relationship between natural phenomena and the fluidity of hot glass, original experimentation, and craftsmanship. By being able to control all processes, both in the hotshop and coldshop, her work shows an acute attention to detail and technique.
The most recent series “Clouds” is an installation inspired by the skies of the Dutch Masters painters. The colours of the elements closely resemble the sky just before rainfall or the threatening thunderclouds. The softness and lightness are a central principle where the hues interact and change from blues to soft greys.
