Anatomica Murano Glass Sculpture: The Human Body as Contemporary Glass Art
The human body has inspired artists for centuries. Anatomica offers a contemporary interpretation through the expressive possibilities of Murano glass.
This collection of figurative sculptures explores the relationship between human anatomy, colour and experimental surface decoration.
Handcrafted in our Murano furnace, Anatomica combines blue glass with silver leaf and a distinctive finishing process that gives every sculpture its own individual appearance.
A Different Interpretation of the Human Form
Anatomica begins with the recognizable silhouette of the human body.
Rather than pursuing a purely classical representation, the collection introduces an expressive decorative surface that transforms the familiar form.
The blue glass gives the sculpture a strong visual identity, while the silver leaf creates a contrasting layer of metallic detail.
Together, these elements produce an artwork that balances figurative inspiration with a contemporary approach to materials.
Silver Leaf Transformed by Fire
One of Anatomica's most distinctive features is its unusual surface treatment.
The blue glass body is decorated with silver leaf, which is subsequently worked using a blowtorch.
This process changes the appearance of the metallic decoration, creating effects that cannot be reproduced with perfect uniformity.
The resulting variations are part of the artistic concept.
Each sculpture carries the visible character of its individual making, with differences in the way the silver interacts with the glass surface.
A Sculptural Presence for Contemporary Interiors
At approximately 30 cm high in its standard configuration, Anatomica can become a distinctive focal point on a console, sideboard or dedicated display surface.
Its figurative form makes it particularly appealing in interiors featuring contemporary artworks, architectural furniture and carefully selected decorative objects.
The combination of blue glass and silver accents works beautifully against neutral backgrounds, allowing the sculpture's silhouette and surface details to remain clearly visible.
A More Personal Artwork
Anatomica can be customized in size, offering the opportunity to adapt the sculpture to a particular interior or display concept.
This flexibility makes the collection especially interesting for those seeking an artwork with a more individual character.
Because the finishing process produces unpredictable results, each piece retains its own visual identity.
A Celebration of Form and Experimentation
Anatomica is more than a decorative representation of the human body.
It explores how a familiar subject can be transformed through material, colour and the creative use of heat.
