Each object represents Monsport's unique approach to creation and materials united by a theme of summer: its wonderous rays and shadows.

Elis Monsport is a multidisciplinary artist and designer who specializes in glass engraving. Her work brings nature to life, transforming it into unique objects that speak through their stories and artistic craftsmanship. Elis focuses on custom creations and collaborations with brands, producing both design pieces and large-scale engravings that can become integral parts of interior spaces.

At Collectible New York, she is showcasing three unique objects, each with a different approach to materials and creation, but all connected by memories of summer and shadows.
Her work is characterized by a specific style, often involving mirrors and large-scale wall engravings that other artists do not undertake.
