Data sheet
We present to you an extraordinary Murano glass sculpture, entirely handcrafted by the skilled hands of Venetian master glassmakers. This unique artwork depicts a stylized female profile, harmoniously blending contemporary art with Murano tradition in a creation that immediately captures the gaze.
From the very first glance, this sculpture stands out for its monochromatic palette in black and white, which enhances its formal purity and timeless charm. The refined design and impeccable craftsmanship make it a decorative element capable of transforming any environment, whether modern or classic.
Upon closer observation, you’ll notice an intricate interplay of white filaments running through the face and neck of the figure. These are not mere surface decorations: each strand is the result of a complex artisanal technique, achieved by incorporating white glass within the molten mass. This choice adds depth, texture, and an almost three-dimensional effect, which changes depending on the light.
The hair, crafted in an extraordinary fusion of transparency and contrast, features a white base speckled with irregular black spots, giving movement and personality. Its elongated and dynamic shape seems to evoke an imaginary wind sculpting the locks, adding energy and vitality to the composition.
The chromatic rigor of black and white is interrupted by a bold splash of color: the red lips. This detail not only breaks the monochrome but also becomes the focal point of the piece, a symbol of sensuality and femininity. The choice of vivid red creates a powerful contrast that attracts the eye and leaves a lasting impression on the observer.
One distinctive feature of this sculpture is the triangular pendant serving as an earring. It is not merely a decorative element: its geometric shape recalls abstract and Cubist art, suggesting a stylistic cross-pollination between figurative art and pure forms. The position and visual balance of this detail contribute to the overall harmony of the composition.
Murano glass has a unique characteristic: it reacts to light in ever-changing ways. In broad daylight, the contrasts between black and white appear crisp and defined, while under soft or artificial lighting, the details soften, creating a more intimate and enveloping atmosphere. This interplay of reflections and transparency ensures the artwork is never static, but constantly transforming.
Thanks to its versatile color scheme and style, this sculpture is perfect for various settings:
In a modern living room, placed on a minimalist piece of furniture to create a design focal point.
In a classic interior, as an elegant contrast on a wooden bookshelf or a marble fireplace.
In an executive office or studio, as a symbol of refinement and artistic taste.
In an exhibition space, displayed alongside other artworks to create a harmonious dialogue between different visual languages.
This creation is not just a decorative object but a perfect example of how Murano art continues to preserve tradition while constantly renewing itself. The contemporary design of the face blends seamlessly with ancient glassmaking techniques, handed down from generation to generation on the island of Murano.
The birth of this sculpture is the result of meticulous, collaborative work:
Preparation of the molten glass – Silica sand and mineral oxides are fused at over 1000°C to obtain the vitreous mass.
Internal coloration – White and black glass canes are incorporated into the still-molten mass, creating the characteristic filaments and spots.
Freehand shaping – The master glassmaker shapes each detail using traditional tools, while assistants maintain the glass at the optimal temperature.
Controlled cooling – The piece is placed in an annealing oven for several hours to prevent internal stresses and ensure durability.
Finishing and polishing – Once cooled, the sculpture is refined and polished to enhance its brilliance and purity of form.
Each genuine Murano glass sculpture comes with a certificate of authenticity and the official “Vetro Artistico® Murano” mark, guaranteeing that the work was crafted exclusively in Murano by certified artisans. This mark protects consumers from imitations and preserves the integrity of a centuries-old tradition.
This sculpture is the ideal gift for those who love art, design, and Italian beauty. Perfect for anniversaries, grand openings, or as a token of recognition, it carries an intrinsic value that goes beyond its aesthetic function: it is a piece of Venice, a fragment of history, and an artwork destined to last for generations.
Despite its strong connection to Venetian culture, this sculpture speaks a universal language made of pure forms, chromatic contrasts, and iconic details. It is a timeless face, in which each observer can read different emotions: elegance, mystery, strength, or sweetness.
