Data sheet
There are decorative items that simply fill a space, and then there are creations that tell a story, capture attention, and stir emotion. IBISCO belongs unmistakably to the latter category. This is not just a decorative object: it is a bold work of art, a statement piece, a tribute to creative genius and the masterful craftsmanship of Murano.
This abstract head sculpture, with its vivid colors and dynamic lines, blends the spirit of modern art with the centuries‑old tradition of Venetian glassmaking. Inspired by the fragmented perspectives and bold experimentation of Picasso’s Cubism, IBISCO reimagines the human face as an interplay of geometry, light, and color, transforming it into a symbol of originality and refined taste.
IBISCO is an artwork suspended between past and present. Its stylized features and unconventional proportions recall a time when artists broke away from realism, seeking new ways to interpret reality. Here, the human face is deconstructed and rebuilt into overlapping planes and contrasting shades, offering the viewer a new perspective from every angle.
The eye is immediately drawn to the interplay of warm, radiant tones – deep reds, golden yellows, fiery oranges – against cool accents like vivid blue. The eye, framed by bold black lines, becomes the focal point of the piece, while the lips, sculpted with confident strokes, seem to hold an unspoken secret. Viewed from different sides, IBISCO reveals new balances of form and hue, inviting endless discovery.
While IBISCO draws inspiration from Pablo Picasso’s revolutionary vision, its creation is rooted in the unmatched craftsmanship of Murano glassmaking. Making a piece like this requires not only artistic talent but also highly specialized technical mastery – a combination that is evident in every detail.
The process begins with the selection of raw materials: pure silica sand, carefully chosen minerals, and natural oxides precisely measured for the perfect result. These elements are melted in the furnace at over 1400°C until they become a glowing, molten mass. At this moment, the master glassmaker steps in, assisted by his serventi, to bring the desired form to life.
The vibrant colors of IBISCO are not painted on the surface; they are fused into the very body of the glass during creation. This ensures that the hues remain luminous and unchanged for decades. The striking combination of fiery orange hair, intense blue eye, and warm golden facial tones is the product of exact temperature control and impeccable timing.
Whether you have already strolled through Venice’s enchanting calli or dream of doing so, IBISCO allows you to bring a piece of that unique atmosphere directly into your home. It is a perfect embodiment of the Italian lifestyle – elegant, creative, and full of passion – in an object that merges beauty with simplicity.
Murano glass has a magical relationship with light, and this sculpture is no exception. Placed in natural daylight, it reflects and refracts sunlight into a spectrum of glowing shades throughout the day. Under artificial lighting, especially with a spotlight, the colors deepen and gain theatrical intensity, making it an ideal statement piece for evening settings.
IBISCO is a sculpture that cannot go unnoticed. In a minimalist interior, it becomes a burst of energy and character; in a more classic setting, it bridges tradition and modernity with harmonious elegance. It fits perfectly in private living rooms, professional offices, art galleries, or luxury boutiques.
Its abstract yet recognizable face makes it appealing to both lovers of contemporary art and those looking for a bold decorative object. The fragmented yet whole visage invites personal interpretations: does it represent the many facets of personality? Is it a reflection on perception and identity? Or simply a celebration of the beauty of artistic freedom?
Gifting IBISCO means giving an emotion, not just an object. It is an ideal choice for marking important occasions: weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or grand openings. It is a gift meant to be displayed with pride, not tucked away in storage.
Each sculpture comes with the official Vetro Artistico® Murano certificate of authenticity, protected by Italian law. This document guarantees that the piece was made entirely in Murano using traditional techniques, ensuring it is not an imitation. For collectors, this is a mark of both value and provenance.
Murano glass is durable yet deserves respectful care. To keep IBISCO at its best, simply dust it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning products that could scratch its surface. Choose a safe display spot away from high‑traffic areas, where it can be illuminated naturally or with well‑placed lighting, without prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Owning IBISCO means holding a piece of cultural history. It is a tangible link between the avant‑garde art movements of the 20th century and the centuries‑old traditions of the Venetian lagoon. Every time you look at it, you can imagine the skilled hands that shaped it, the centuries of expertise behind it, and the timeless power of art to transform a space.
In an age dominated by mass production, IBISCO stands as a celebration of patience, precision, and vision. No two sculptures are exactly alike – each has subtle variations in color, shape, or texture, making your piece truly one‑of‑a‑kind.
Please note: Each sculpture is entirely handmade, making it unique and unrepeatable. Minor variations in color, shape, or decorative details may occur, and slight differences from the product photos on our website are normal. These subtle differences are inherent to the artisanal process and confirm the authenticity of Murano craftsmanship, making each piece truly special and personal.
