With “Dorso,” the artist embarks on a contemporary journey to rediscover the harmonious forms found in the artistic legacy of ancient Greece, particularly the “Ionic” style that distinguished Greek sculptures during the 7th and 6th centuries BC. This extraordinary piece captures the essence of those bygone eras, translating the harmonies and proportions into a modern sculptural form that celebrates the timeless beauty of the human body. Crafted using the exquisite medium of Murano glass, these sculptures transcend mere decoration, evolving into objects of high artistic distinction.
Every aspect of these sculptures is meticulously handcrafted, employing a range of decorative techniques. Multicolored mosaic patterns, adorned with inserts of lustrous gold and silver leaf, dance across the surfaces. Venetian murrine and an array of Murano glass beads in captivating hues, from crystal-clear to vibrant red and green, contribute to each piece’s unique aesthetic identity. Each choice of decoration creates a distinct visual impact, rendering these sculptures truly one-of-a-kind.
To further elevate these remarkable works of art, the “Dorso” pieces are elegantly presented on specially designed floor structures made of chromed steel and plexiglass. This framework serves a dual purpose: it provides a stable and visually pleasing base for the sculptures while also integrating LED System backlighting. This feature adds an enchanting luminous dimension to the artwork, casting captivating shadows and highlights. The wiring for these structures is meticulously crafted and certified for both CE and UL standards.
