AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Calcedony Murano glass sculpture, lampworked by Fabio Tagliapietra, depicting a turtle

The work stands out for its dynamic composition and the elegant overlap of forms, which conveys the impression of wing movement during flight. The distinctive calcedony effect, characterized by suggestive color variations and irregular veining, creates reflections that change noticeably depending on the light and angle.

The silhouettes of the seagulls are individually molded at high temperature, with lampworking, preserving a strong sculptural and gestural quality. The transparent parts enhance the depth of the glass and contrast with the deeper calcedony tones.

The composition is completed by a black glass base, which supports the sculpture and visually emphasizes its lightness.

Artist: Fabio Tagliapietra
Technique: lampworking
Material: Murano chalcedony glass
Subject: turtle

Typology: contemporary Murano glass sculpture
