Petr Hora was born on April 12, 1949 in Brno, Czech Republic. He attended the glass school for applied arts in Zelezny Brod, Chlum u Trebon.

Hora is part of the collections of the Bohemian Art Glass Museum, Karuizawa (Japan); Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh (USA); Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk (USA); Corning Museum of Glass, Corning (USA), Mobile (USA); Seven Bridges Foundation, Greenwich (USA) and The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University (USA).
For over 20 years, Hora has been researching glass as an art material and using his extraordinary imagination to create shapes and images into distinctive sculptures. He was influenced by many things; the ancient arts, the pyramids, contemporary architecture, the human form, and images from nature.
What appears flawless, minimalistic and even simple is the result of his intensive work with glass over many years. In his works, the viewer gets the feeling of simple perfection.
Hora's works are exhibited and marketed nationally and internationally: however, he gained great popularity in the USA and Japan.
