Pascal Mestrom

Pascal Mestrom was born in 1972. He now lives and works in Maastricht, where he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1996. From 1999, he worked as an art dealer and antique dealer.  In 2004, he specialized in the acquisition of chandeliers, restoring and studying them in depth. In 2019, he began creating his own chandeliers, which he calls “Inventions“.

Pascal Mestrom’s chandeliers are transformed into contemporary candelabras, sometimes borrowing their structure from the 17ᵉ century, sometimes from the craftsmanship for the finesse of their glass and metal structure. His chandeliers remind us of artificial still lifes, they create the link between past and present.

The marriage of crystal, opaline and Murano glass is as intriguing as the combination of iron, bronze and brass. An audacious assembly of shapes and bolts, that could be described as steampunk… Everything is there to make Inventions, his asymmetrical and eclectic compositions, real hung sculptures.
