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.
GAZE. This is the most dramatic work in the collection: red and yellow struggle for space while blue seeks to calm them. The blue hair is not just glass; it is flowing water, the sea that surrounds our island. It falls heavy and vibrant over a face that seems to scream in silence.
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.
