The Story
Reverse Glass Painting, Peru
Growing up, Caroline’s grandmother’s house was full of artful pieces from all over the world, in particular techniques from South and Central America. Peruvian reverse glass painting is an intricate technique that originated in the 16th century, as the name suggests, the artist paints the reverse side of the glass, layering the paint to create a motif on the opposite side.
