## Caption

Each time I visit the floating city, I am amazed by its artistic heritage - a legacy that finds extraordinary expression in the centuries-old tradition of glassblowing on the island of Murano.

Every glass artwork begins with an idea, a spark of inspiration. Yet working with this ancient craft also means surrendering to the process. Glass demands both precision and trust, making the journey from concept to finished piece one of anticipation, where skill and unpredictability exist in constant balance.

While my own approach to this brittle material rarely unfolds under the intense heat of the furnace, I never tire of watching the Murano maestros at work. There is something deeply captivating about witnessing molten glass transformed through generations of knowledge and craftsmanship. The greatest moment comes when the kiln is finally opened. Sometimes the result is exactly as imagined; sometimes it surpasses every expectation. That feeling of excitement and discovery never fades, and it is what makes creating with glass so endlessly rewarding.

Images taken at stregisvenice, where my artwork “The Four Icons” is on permanent display.
