Each body of work distinctly different and yet all Chardiet. His interpretation of the family unit, as seen in the Still Life series is refreshing.

I cannot believe how struck I was by Jose’s work. His glass and silver is stunning. The glass patterns so intricate.
The labyrinths have a wonderful art deco feel. Love the negative spaces.
Gorgeous work, really amazing.
. . . takes my breath away . . .
I love the crossover mediums used in his work. Both work in harmony in an amazing balance.
Jose Chardiet is the real deal who brings tension to beautiful objects. His craftmenship is impeccable as he celebrates a personal vision on common objects like tea pots and vessels.
I absolutely love those tea pots!
You have learned well grasshopper.
