The Artist
A Brazilian living in Denmark, her career crosses borders between art, ecology and social transformation. With over 40 years of continuous creation, Debora Muszkat shapes ideas as she shapes glass: with warmth, intention and poetry. A graduate of FAAP and a specialist in glass art in England, she began working with glass recycling even before the world talked about sustainability. A pioneer in artistic upcycling, she transforms what would be waste into beauty, craft and the future.
Art that pulsates
in the collective
Her work does not seek to be seen only — it seeks to be experienced. Debora creates experiences that touch the body, memory and imagination. She works with painting, sculpture, installations and performance, always in dialogue with the environment and those who inhabit it.
Its themes span identity, landscape, memory and impermanence. But the guiding principle is clear: art as a transformative practice.
“My work is not confined to itself. It is intertwined with life. It is a product and, at the same time, it produces the environment,” he states.
Through the Glass, life reveals itself
Since the 2000s, Debora has also dedicated herself to in-depth educational work through the project Through Glass. In it, glass becomes a bridge between worlds, knowledge, and possible futures. She trains people from peripheral communities, teaches recycling techniques, and encourages a creative perspective on the invisible.
Using ovens, crystals and imagination, he transforms shards into toys, sculptures, accessories and art. In each workshop, a craftsman is born — and, with him, new ways of living.
Path solo, multiple voices
Between exhibitions at MAM-SP, MAC, OCA, and shows in England, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands, Debora builds a plural work, with an international presence, but with deep roots.
He created glass gardens, mirror boxes, crystal waterfalls, perfume murals and interactive installations — always making room for the other: the spectator, the learner, the unexpected.
She was awarded at the Florence Biennale, invited by institutions such as Stichting White Cube, and today continues to divide her life between studios in Brazil and Europe, with live projects in constant movement.
Reflections: Between the visible and what is yet to come
The construction of Debora Muszkat's career will be revealed in a book that translates the conviction that her art — as well as her trajectory — is the inevitable unfolding of something that was always to come.
More than just works of art, Debora creates symbols that reflect invisible forces, unspoken sensations, fragments of worlds that escape us. The result is a series of exhibitions that are presented as natural consequences of this journey.
In Reflection of the Unimaginable, the artist proposes a gesture of care and reverence for the forest, recreated in glass as if it were a living body, protected by a symbolic entity: the Boitatá molded in glassy greens. It is an invitation to embrace — a link between the material and the mythical, between reflection and existence.
The journey continues with Reflection of the Unspeakable, where his work reaches an immersive dimension that escapes language. It is a sensorial dive that needs no explanation: art as an experience that cannot be translated, but rather felt.
Drawing: origin and expansion of form
In a deepening of techniques and references, drawings are also present in Debora Muszkat's artistic construction.
