Italian artist Simone Crestani has been blowing glass since he was 15 years old.
He comes from the Venice region, where working with glass is one of the traditional crafts, so this type of art is in his blood.
Crestani creates beautiful glass sculptures that combine his love of glass work with his love of the natural world.
Many of his creations can be considered part of a contemporary "Cabinet of Curiosity" where nature is not defaced but respected by reproducing its essence in fragile transparent shapes.
The infinite variety of of plant and animal forms inspires his magical world, a celebration of lightness and transparency in always new and original creations of crystalline purity and beauty.
Crestani uses the lampworking technique to make these objects out of clear borosilicate glass in a more sculptural manner than is traditional, allowing him to create works that may be large in size but still exquisite in their meticulous representation of the details.
