* 2. 9. 1937 in Nasaburky, Moravia † 21. 5. 2005 in Prague 1954-57 Glassmaking School, Železný Brod, Czechoslovakia 1957-63 Applied Arts College, Prague (studio of Prof. J. Kaplický) The present form of works created by Bohumil Eliáš is a reflection of his great versatility. The artist - a glass maker - is always in a very close contact with painting and graphics, recently also with sculpture. All the media are complimentary to each other and inspire each other in the use of specific means of expression. That is why, in spite of its formal diversity, the author´s works remain truthful to one artistic opinion and maintain a unique characteristic style.
