About the Item

Picasso medallion attributable to Badioli in Murano glass from the 90s. Imagine walking in an art gallery and, among a thousand silent voices of the works, only one manages to really capture your gaze: it is a glass sculpture, alive and pulsating like a thought that takes shape. In front of you, a work that seems to have come out of a cubist dream: transparent but full, liquid but solid, abstract but profoundly human. This sculpture, with its organic and irregular shape, is an obvious tribute to the Picasso language, and carries with it the unmistakable stylistic signature of Mario Badioli. Badioli, a Venetian artist born in the heart of Murano, has been able to transform glass into a powerful means of expression, with an artistic vision that mixes artisan tradition with the modernity of twentieth-century pictorial thought. A spiritual disciple of the great art of Murano, but also a profound connoisseur of the avant-garde, Badioli worked in symbiosis with master glassmakers to create works that seem to freeze the energy of color in dynamic and vital forms. This sculpture is a clear example: the intense red, the deep blue, the bright yellow-all inserted in a transparent mass and masterfully shaped-speak an emotional and symbolic language. The work does not need to be explained: it imposes itself, like an ancestral figure, a primitive face or a contemporary totem, open to infinite interpretations. In it, strength and fragility, light and matter, balance and rupture coexist. In a modern environment, this sculpture becomes a focal point, a presence that does not limit itself to decorating, but questions and inspires. Acquiring it means taking with you not only an object of art, but a piece of that Italian history that has been able to unite craftsmanship and genius, tradition and experimentation. This is not just a sculpture. It is eternal artistic gesture. A fragment of Mario Badioli's vision. A continuous dialogue between glass and light, form and color, art and soul.
