Selected works from acclaimed artists, including Lino Tagliapietra, Tobias Mohl and Martin Janecky, among others, are also available to purchase at the So Glassycle studio.

Regarded as one of the best glass sculptors, Martin Janecký returned for a second spring residency at Soneva Art & Glass, from April 5 – 26, 2025. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, showcasing his exceptional mastery of blowing and sculpting “inside the bubble” – a technique that allows him to create remarkable glass sculptures.

Janecký began working with glass at the age of thirteen at his father’s factory in the Czech Republic. After graduating from the Glass School in Nový Bor, he gained experiences in South Africa, Sweden, the Netherlands and in the US, where he studied at the Pilchuck Glass School under Richard Royal and William Morris. In 2019, he established Janecky Studio in Prague, further advancing his innovative approach to glass art.

His latest exhibition of artwork created while in residence at Soneva Fushi,  Made in Maldives, opened to guests on April 21, 2025, at the Soneva Art & Glass Gallery.
