Shooted by Lisa Preußner
Behind the robust and hermetic appearance of these works, there is a profound concept that vertebrates and relates three states of mind: stress, relaxation and euphoria.
The collection is the result of the exploration of various traditional techniques: incalmo, swedisch, overlay, gradient and pop of punty to which must be added a personal investigation into the degradation of colour in blown glass.
The first violet gradient represents a zone of tension. The colour is intense and is the point where it all starts. This tension gradually diminishes, becomes transparent and begins to withdraw inwards until the energy takes it in and slowly begins to rise from its own body like a phoenix. The point of contact between the two emotional bodies, obtained thanks to a technique called incalmo in which the cylinder continues to grow, signifies a new beginning, a new phase in which the tension is over and where with a gentle gradient of colour, euphoria rises triumphantly above the stress zone.
Phoenix is the visual story of the evolution of a state of mind.
