The Eredità Cromatica (Chromatic Legacy) collection transforms the artist’s father’s secret drawings into glass sculptures. A dialogue between generations where sketches inspired by the 20th-century avant-garde come to life in the fire of Murano. A tribute of love that transmutes the silence of paper into the eternal voice of glass.
MAN WITH ICE CREAM. This is the piece closest to the heart. Imagine a sunny Sunday, a wide-brimmed hat for shade, and an ice cream defying the heat of the lagoon. A Cubist portrait indulging in a simple pleasure, that colorful cone held between the fingers. It is a hymn to life and sweetness; to knowing how to enjoy a moment of freshness amidst the heat of the furnace and the day’s toil.
