Unique Technique: Chalcedony Glass (Calcedonio).
The featured work was made with the extremely difficult and rare technique of chalcedony glass (Calcedonio), the secret of which dates back to the 15th century.
The magic of metallic oxides: A special composition of metal oxides (including silver) is added to the molten glass mass, causing a dynamic chemical reaction.
Natural mineral effect: As a result, the sculpture gains deep, fluid streaks that mimic layers of agate, chalcedony or lapis lazuli.
Uniqueness: In this technique, the arrangement of colors is absolutely unpredictable and impossible to copy. The play of light shows amazing transitions from the deep blue of the sea, to emerald, to reflections of amber and copper.
Deep Symbolism: Ties and Harmony
This sculpture from the master's iconic series - most often interpreted as "Love, Dance, Hug" or "Family in Harmony" - captivates with its fluid, sensual lines.
Unity and Closeness: Two abstract silhouettes intertwine in a perfect circle, symbolizing unbreakable bonds, love, boundless trust and family harmony.Balance of Form: Dynamic inner streaks of glass contrast with the sculpture's smooth, cool surface. The entire piece rests on an elegant cylindrical frosted glass pedestal, which gives the composition a light and modern feel.
