I am a Romanian artist who creates realistic paintings on glasses. And yes, you can use them!
I was born in Bucharest and started painting as soon as I could hold a paintbrush in my hand. Art ran through my family, as my late grandfather was a sculptor. I never got to meet him but my mother past on his talent and thought me the basics of painting, always nudging me forward.
After I graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts, Bucharest, I struggled to make a living on what I loved most: art. I worked in graphic design, and web design and even was a cake decorator for a while. It wasn't till after I became a mother that, just for my son's amusement, I started to paint him realistic animals. It was a lot easier than actually buying them!
After that, I discovered that glass was a perfect surface for painting that offered each image an extra dimension and depth. It was only the beginning.
You can find more of my artwork in my previous article on Bored Panda. Don't forget to check out my Instagram and Etsy shop (the links are below)!

I'd be too afraid to use them since I'm so clumsy. I don't have a full set of anything glass or breakable - everything has had at least one piece break. Lovely work though. A vase covered in flowers would look nice too I bet. Or a fishtank with fish on the outside.
Nice work!
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous! The attention to detail is remarkable... Wow, I would love to have a whole collection of these, but I could never use them to drink from, they would have to be kept just for show... Lovely work, Silvia!
Thank you so much! ❤️
