Michela Cattai Studio - Abstract artworks in blown Murano glass

My dialogue with glass is very special, it takes me to a creative dimension where anything can happen.

This is the magical moment when we can give shape o our toughts, repeat the history of millennia with a gesture and direct the act to create a form of luminous plasticity.

Michela Cattai shows a piece of the Linfa series

“La forma si spoglia di ogni elemento decorativo tipico, rivelando la sua struttura più essenziale, e svelandone l’anima viva nella rimozione del lustro, nella torsione volumetrica, nella scoperta di una irriducibile tattilità della superficie.”

Elisabetta Longari.

The sculptures, all unique pieces, tell us about a deep love for the glass material, which has its roots in the past, but that expresses itself using a contemporary language

Linfa

“For Cattai it is rather that of exploring the possible horizons of meaning of the material and its sculptural transformations, finding therein the original ‘formativity’, and above all a deep relationship with the natural in a supremely expressive dimension.”
Flaminio Gualdoni, 2023
