In 2001 ARS Religiosa Studio was established by Bambi Martinez, borne from his passion for glass art and religious objects. From his close affiliation with priests and religious, he learned that stained glass installed in churches and religious houses was priced at unaffordable rates and used low-quality glass. With these in mind, a studio was born.
In 2017, the founder passed on. His passion and legacy are continued by his son, Marc, Bambi’s constant companion in his travels installing stained glass all over the country. Marc is an animation graduate from De La Salle – College of St. Benilde. Marc was trained in 21st-century software but uses his skill to continue a centuries-old art. The company was re-born as Prospera Glass Studio. Even with the change of name, Marc carries the torch as a tribute to his father and as an expression of his creativity.
