Dana Vachtova's work has always been influenced by a sculptor's sentiments. One can see this in previous cycles, where a blown-glass shape exuding expression would be organically connected with strict form of metal parts in which it was framed. Work with pieces modeled from wax and finished as glass melted into moulds afforded the author new opportunities. Gradually one can see a growing tendency to replace spontaneous glass formations with modeling that can be extremely precise even down to the finest of details. The newer juxtapositions of melted glass with bronze reinforce this. The artist covers the sculpture's surface in places with silver plate and achieves a confrontation between the soft model with its metallic appearance and the seemingly inner light that illuminates the glass. The sculpture's motifs are strongly emotionally colored; many works are direct scenes from dramas of a purely personal nature as well as those common to all mankind.
