Episode Details

In this episode of Tarik Talk, I sit down with Brooklyn-based artist Soomin Oeffinger, founder of This This That Studio. Known for her vibrant stained glass works, Soomin creates geometric and abstract compositions that blend color, light, and form in unique and captivating ways. Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, Swiss poster design, and contemporary illustration, Soomin combines opaque and transparent glass to create handcrafted pieces that transform with changing light and perspective. Her work explores pattern, balance, and visual rhythm while bringing a modern approach to the traditional craft of stained glass. Join us as we discuss her artistic journey, creative influences, studio practice, and the process behind building This This That Studio in Brooklyn. We also talk about the intersection of design and fine art, the challenges and rewards of working with glass, and how she has developed her distinctive visual language.
