Sini Majuri on suomalainen lasitaiteilija ja muotoilija, joka on erikoistunut ilmaisussaan suupuhallettuun lasiin, jota hän työstää sekoittaen perinnettä nykyteknologiaan. Majuri on palkittu lukuisilla muotoilupalkinnoilla, kuten kultaisella A’Design Awardilla Italiassa ja hänen veistoksiaan löytyy esimerkiksi Muranon lasimuseon sekä Berengo Studion kokoelmista. Majuri on muotoillut myös sarjallista käyttölasia esimerkiksi Hong Kongin M+ nykytaidemuseolle sekä hollantilaiselle DutZ Collectionille. Hän on työskennellyt kolmesti arvostetun A’Design Awardin tuomarina. Majurin runouteen ja tarinalliseen ilmaisuun pohjautuvia lasiveistoksia on nähty yli 70:ssä kansainvälisessä näyttelyssä esimerkiksi New Yorkissa, Tokiossa, Venetsiassa ja Dubaissa. Hän on kehittänyt oman versionsa sata vuotta vanhasta lasin graal-tekniikasta, jossa kuvamaailmoja suljetaan lasin kerroksiin.

Sodan ja turvattomuuden aikakaudella taiteilijalla on vastuu vangita ajan luonne. Uskon, että taide on ohjelmoitu syvälle ihmisyyteen. Se on universaali kieli. Kauneuden ja aineettoman kieli, joka paljastaa aina todellisen olemuksemme.
Lasi on ilmeikäs materiaali, joka saavuttaa olemassaolon näkymättömät kerrokset. Herkkyytensä vastakohtana lasi on yksi avainteknologioista, jotka ovat muokanneet nykymaailmaa. Sen avulla pystyimme näkemään mikroskooppisen lähelle sekä avaruuden kaukaisuuden. Siinä on taikuutta ja alkukantaisuutta. Historiaa. Tuntemattomuutta. Veistokseni heijastavat usein sitä, kuinka oma näkökulmamme vaikuttaa siihen, miten näemme toisemme – ajan ja kulttuurin hämärtäminä. Meissä kaikissa on aina piilotettuja kerroksia.

In this twisted era of War and insecurity, artists have a responsibility in capturing the nature of the time. I believe that Art is programmed deep into human heredity. As a glass artist I see craftsmanship; creating by hands, as a vital part of my art. We have originally shaped our security, construction, innovation and creation with our hands. Therefore art has always been connected deeply in humanity. Art opens when it interacts. It is a form of communication that has retained the character of mystery throughout time. It’s a universal language. The language of beauty and spirituality. Even dangerous language. And it must be dangerous, because it always reveals our true essence.
Glass is an expressive material that reaches the invisible layers of existence. As a contrast to its sensuality, glass is one of the key technologies that have shaped the modern World. It allowed us to discover the microscopic World as well as the distance of Space. It has magic and primordiality. History. Unknown. My sculptures often reflect how our own perspective affects how we see each other. It’s always blurred by the time and culture. There are always hidden layers in us all.
