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.
WOMAN WITH TURBAN. This is a figure that does not ask for space but occupies it naturally through its soft forms. The banded hat lends it an elegance of yesteryear, reminiscent of a turban, while the bust is a mass of aqua-blue that shines with its own light, dense and impenetrable. It is the transformation of a subtle mark into a glass body that defies time, carrying within it a soul that never stopped dreaming.
Born in Murano in 1963, Mario Furlan grew up in continuous contact with the world of Artistic Glass of Murano Island, as his father Walter was a renowned Master Glassmaker.
After graduating from the Venice State Institute of Art, Mario then enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice from which he graduated with honors.
