ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tony Sorgenfrei is a contemporary glass artist whose work draws inspiration from the rich visual traditions of Mesoamerican cultures. Based in Tacoma, WA, Tony has spent years researching and immersing himself in the symbolism, mythology, and artistry of ancient civilizations such as the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec. Through his glass sculptures and installations, Tony reimagines the vibrant world of Mesoamerica in a medium that both contrasts and complements the ancient materials and techniques of their source inspirations. Tony’s glass pieces are intricately designed, incorporating vibrant colors, textures, and powerful iconography drawn from the region's gods, natural elements, and ceremonial objects. Tony is committed to telling stories that have been passed down through generations. His work reflects a deep appreciation for ancient knowledge, bringing these cultural narratives into the contemporary world. Through his innovative approach to glass, Tony seeks to provoke reflection on how history, mythology, and identity are preserved and reinterpreted in modern times. Tony continues to explore new ways of merging traditional Mesoamerican aesthetics with modern artistic expression, inviting viewers to engage in a visual conversation about heritage, memory, and transformation.
