Sculpture, Tartaruga - 3 cm - Glass

Calcedony Murano glass sculpture, lamp-worked by Fabio Tagliapietra, depicting a turtle

The work stands out for its dynamic composition and the elegant overlapping of shapes, conveying the impression of wing movement in flight. The distinctive calcedony effect, characterized by evocative color variations and irregular veining, creates reflections that change significantly depending on the light and angle.

The silhouettes of the seagulls are individually shaped by hand, with lamp-work, maintaining a strong sculptural and gestural component. The transparent parts enhance the depth of the glass and the contrasts with the more intense tones of the calcedony.

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