Nature Portrayed in Glass<\/h1>\n

Thanks to his mastery of lampworking and his deep love for art and nature, Vittorio Costantini creates beautiful glass insects, birds, fish and flowers. A keen observer of animals and plants, he analyses the anatomy of his subjects, studying their habitats and life cycles to create incredibly realistic flora and fauna.<\/p>\n

He has dedicated his life to exploring the creative potential of lampworking and to teaching and demonstrating his craft to others.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”368″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” css=”” link=”https:\/\/www.vittoriocostantini.com\/en\/fish\/”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1747146244822{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]…I met a man who has a gift for creating a fantasy world with the most ancient of glassworking techniques\u2026 When he looks at you, his eyes brim with curiosity, with the will to understand. They ask questions only he can answer\u2026Curiosity stimulates the imagination and the manual skill of all the great artists, their talent multiplies their desire for progress, the constant challenge against their own selves. Vittorio embodies an ancient musicality which, unfortunately, is on the verge of extinction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beyond scrutinizing the anatomy of the animals, he spent (and still spends) endless hours studying their habitat and life cycles. This scrutiny resulted in the incredible realism of his glass animals\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
