Designer Asaf Zakay’s work captures the essence of nature and allows people to see it as if for the first time.

Each handcrafted piece is carefully constructed using the stained glass technique, a process Asaf studied whilst he was in Israel.  For as long as he can remember Asaf has been making the sacred symbol of the merkaba, also known as the star tetrahedron, from a variety of materials including wood, metal, bamboo and shell.

Shortly after his arrival to Australia Asaf, formerly a glass fitter began selling his work at the markets in the area of Byron shire.  Soon people began to recognise the shapes he was making and their link to sacred geometry.  Since then Asaf’s life changed dramatically and he was drawn to create stunning pieces of three dimensional geometry that hold the key to a broader understanding of the universe.

Since his humble beginnings six years ago he has learned that the entire universe is shaped according to set, geometric proportions; from the alignment of the stars and the leaves on trees to architectural structures and the human body. Because our cells are geometrically structured too, focussing on geometric shapes has a profound effect. And, as Greek philosopher Plato stated: “Geometry will draw the soul towards the truth.”

As he grows so does his work, continually producing more complex and visually exciting forms of geometry, which change the world around him into an experience of higher intention, greater freedom and possibility.

Just the contemplation of these shapes and the fact they are in his everyday life on a physical level expands and brings to the world the knowledge that already exists inside him.

He now creates more than 20 different shapes using a variety of beautiful bevelled glass.  And he has recently extended his folio of work and designed and manufactured light sculptures.  This has been a project he has been working on in his studio for two years. Asaf commented, ‘It is like coming out of the shadows, a light is like a companion, you live with it , you build a relationship. It’s much more than a source of light to me.’

Since setting up his own gallery and design studio in 2006, which boasts a client list that includes Jamie Durie, Gaia Resort owned by Olivia Newton John and artist David Bromley, designer Asaf Zakay brings clarity, sculpture and sublime restraint to his work.

Reguarly Zakay Glass Gallery hosts a number of workshops and exhibitions where artists, scientists, mathematicians and art lovers come together and marvel at the latest works created on the proportions and ratios that shape the universe.

These timeless art pieces are like gemstones; their facets and symmetries compel our eyes and hearts to encounter life more deeply, bringing healing and deepening spiritual awareness.

Asaf has realised his passion and his creative energy continues to flow as he intuitively produces creations that radiate visual magic of stunning timeless presence.  With his art, Asaf wants to inspire people to discover their power and follow their passion in order to turn dreams into actions and actively determine the course of their life now.
