Macchia su macchia red & orange & ivory olla vase

Macchia su Macchia is a project inspired from the chromatic research and the deconstruction of the technique behind the Murano glass macchia. Traditionally, the macchia is applied in a single phase and it is subsequently coated with a crystal layer. Here, instead, it has been deconstructed and reassembled. By completely removing the crystal, the artworks lose the sparkling effect – a characteristic of the macchia - in favour of an opaque one. The chromatic motifs are created through repeated multiple applications of colourful pigments and flakes: layers on layers, macchie on macchie.
