Marcelo Canevari
Born in Norrköping, Sweden in 1991, currently based in Sweden.
Nossbring's engagement with glass production began at age 15 through a formal apprenticeship program at Reijmyre glassworks, where he subsequently spent 8 years in factory production. Recognizing his desire to expand his artistic vocabulary, the artist embarked on an extensive international educational journey, studying at prestigious institutions including the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington DC and the Corning Museum of Glass in New Jersey, USA, with additional training in Israel and the Czech Republic. He later obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and Glass, followed by a Master of Fine Arts in Craft from Konstfack, Stockholm. In 2018, Nossbring became a co-owner of STHLM Glas studio, housed in a repurposed porcelain factory on the outskirts of Stockholm.
Nossbring has established a distinctive artistic practice that seamlessly merges abstract and figurative glass sculpture. His work is characterized by monumental designs that incorporate mundane elements, drawing inspiration from overlooked moments of everyday poetry. This aesthetic sensibility is particularly evident in his signature design motif, which evokes the appearance of pastry piping or, as the artist describes, "tubes of Swedish caviar." His technical approach involves a complex integration of various glass forms, with color applied in multiple layers during the heating process. The finished pieces often undergo selective sandblasting, resulting in a distinctive matt, satin-like finish that challenges traditional associations with glass surfaces.
Nossbring is represented in the permanent collections of the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden’s Public Art Agency, the Färgfabriken art hall and The Glass Factory, among other institutions. He has been awarded several prestigious prizes, most recently Young Artisan of the Year by the Friends of The National Museum in Stockholm in 2021.
