Fuoco io son e son di soffio | Murano glass sculpture

Fuoco io son e son di soffio | Natale di Vetro Event 2007 | Bressagio Murano

This glass sculpture was born from a watercolor, its overlapping brush strokes recalling Murano glass trasparencies.

Sinuous forms are born out of matter obstinately tamed by the hands and creative genius of men who for generations have passed on art they call “craft”.

Veiled transparencies, delicate as butterfly wings, alternate with matter as dense as magma, in a genesis of colours no palette has ever seen.

As the sunset on the lagoon, a play of lights appears.

And to light these creations are dedicated, destined to remain timeless masterpieces as a kaleidoscopic lanterns to go on dreaming. 

Glass sculture composed by a brazier-shaped round metal structure, where a conic cage, composed by concentric rings, is placed.

On such rings, some pins are welded to allow the insertion of 170 flame-like elements in blown glass and various colors: fire red, red/gold, melon orange, lemon yellow, amber, topaz, amethyst and violet

Size: H cm 250; Ø cm 230.
