Alessandro Padoan’s 2024 Murano glass sculpture Sguardo nel vuoto depicts an eye with an empty pupil and is signed on the plate.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small Murano glass sculpture, a work of art that fascinates and intrigues with its unique shape and enigmatic meaning. It depicts an eye, but with one distinctive feature: the pupil is hollow. The transparent glass surface captures the surrounding light, creating reflections and shimmering effects. The shape of the eye is rendered with care and precision, including every detail of the iris and eyelashes. However, it is the hollow pupil that captures the viewer’s attention, inviting them to reflect on the symbolic meaning of the piece.
The absence of the pupil suggests a profound, universal vision, in which the eye becomes a mirror of the soul, a portal to the unknown.
New handcrafted Murano glass piece, created at the Vitra glassworks using the fused-glass technique. A certificate of authenticity is included.
Sculpture dimensions: diameter 15 cm
base: length 10 cm - depth 8 cm
Safe, professional packaging guaranteed by decades of experience
