SIGNS OF THE TIME This artwork is part of my "Graffito Series." My journey as an artist and master of glass has led me to combine Murano glass, with its wonderful colors, with precious silver leaf, which together become my canvas to paint on. Graffito, an ancient art that I revisited in a more modern key, and painting colors are my way of creating the depicted paintings. "Signs of the Time" is born by thinking about all the signs that we daily observe, which have been and are part of our times. Materials Murano glass sheet, silver leaf (pure 1000/00 silver), high-temperature colors, wooden panel coated with glass, and wooden frame as shown in the published photo. Technique The base of this artwork is made with tesserae of glass sheet of various colors and with silver leaves scratched with a steel point and painted with high-temperature colors. A long and meticulous work of engraving to create the graffiti. All enclosed in a crystal glass sheet, to keep the precious silver leaf unchanged. The painting is ready, and I put it in the oven where it reaches the melting temperature at 1450 degrees Fahrenheit and slowly cools down for a cycle of about 20 hours. Finally, I have the glass ready to be finished through the cold grinding process. The finished artwork is then paired with a wooden panel and framed. Signed by engraving on the front and attached is the certificate of authenticity.

I was born in the beautiful city of Venice and from a young age, I followed my father's great passion for Murano glass, falling in love with this precious material linked to the traditions of my land. After my studies, I began collaborating with some of the most representative glass design companies in Murano, historic brands such as VeArt and Vistosi. My interest turned to the technical aspects of glass processing and decoration, research, design, and the study of this material, starting to design and create furnishing and lighting objects for national and international companies. In 2002, I received the prestigious task from the European Community and the Ministry of Equal Opportunities to coordinate courses in Venice aimed at promoting female employment and the development of glass craftsmanship workshops for this purpose. In 2003, I finally started my artistic glass fusion and lampworking laboratory, developing various techniques related to their processing. I have always loved glass for its brilliance, for the beauty of its endless colors and reflections, and I wanted to combine my knowledge of glass techniques with another passion of mine, painting. The precious silver leaf coupled with the glass sheet becomes my canvas to draw and paint on. Graffito, an ancient technique that I revisited in a modern key, combined with other artistic glass processing techniques, allows me to leave free space for my inspiration and creativity for the paintings, objects, and sculptures that represent my collections. Research involves and excites me, stimulating me to find new forms of artistic expression in original and unique works. I am one of the founding members of AMA - Association of Master Artisans of Glass, a brand for the safeguarding of the artistic and cultural heritage of Venetian glass and Made in Italy. My works have participated in various international events and exhibitions and are present in showrooms in many Italian and foreign cities.
