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.
THINKING MAN. This sculpture is a miracle of balance. The contrast between acid green and milk-white creates an electric tension, but it is the transparent hands that tell the true story: they are the hands of my father caressing the pages, the hands of the master modeling the air. They seem ready to move, to gesticulate in the void, as if to remind us that art never stops—not even when the glass cools.
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.
