Photographed on-site at Spain’s oldest cava house, Codorniu Cava Window – The First Favorite captures the luminous geometry of the winery’s iconic stained-glass windows in Catalonia. Each six-sided glass pane—thick and jewel-like, reminiscent of the base of a wine bottle—reflects the vineyard, the sky, and the surrounding architecture in vivid color.
Layered with acrylic, oil, and black metal leaf, the work reimagines the window as a living surface. Textured paint enhances the glass’s tactile dimension, amplifying the way light moves and shifts across it—like the sparkle of cava in the glass.
In this “First Favorite,” one glass facet is subtly hand-painted in oil, almost invisible unless discovered. Each future piece in the twelve-part Cava Window series will conceal a different hand-painted facet, transforming the collection into an intimate treasure hunt of reflection, color, and craft.
