After extensive experimentation at home, Péter Botos founded his workshop in 1989, while he and a few of his colleagues began to make high-precision glass elements from optical glass for optical instruments and industrial devices, and as an addition, they also produced glass trophies.
The industrial orders represented a constant technical challenge for him, at the same time they also provided continuous intellectual development, as well as the opportunity to experiment with form.
Thanks to this, a new direction towards fine art emerged for him, which occupied him for a long time. He knows, lives and enlivens the well-known Hungarian tradition, which is characterized by the art of Lajos Kassák, Victor Vasarely and László Moholy-Nagy.

[Text available only in English] When making his sculptures, he uses cold techniques to process the optical glasses. The work consists of blocks and columns, which he cuts into only a few elements, then grinds, polishes and glues, repeating the process many times. His constructions consist of simple, basic geometric shapes. Through the size of the individual elements, the gluing, matte, glossy and different colored optical glasses, he achieves the rampant inner visual richness that finally appears in his sculptures....
