| Heart Description: | Looking at the warm colors of the Calcedonia in this piece is sure to make any viewer melt. The sweet shape, with its gentle curvature reaching down to a delicate point, is a tender representation of this universal symbol of love and affection. The weaving Calcedonia offsets the shape by bringing a vivacious beat into the piece. Bands of luxuriant color slide along the smooth surface of the glass in the musical rhythm of life. As with all of Dino Rosin’s Calcedonia glass works, no two sculptures will ever contain the same colors. The distinguishing colors of Calcedonia, comparable to the stripes in a zoned agate, are created through the introduction of silver nitrate to crystal clear glass. Patterns found in each Dino Rosin sculpture cannot be controlled since the colors depend solely upon the chemical reaction of each batch. As a result, every sculpture - including "Heart" - has the added element of chance upon that of unparalleled mastery.
Dino Rosin is a true "Maestro" from the celebrated glass art island of Murano, Italy. Rosin continues his family's tradition of glass blowing that dates back generations. "Heart" is a stunning example of this world famous artist's skill and lineage, with a combination of clear and "Calcedonia" glass, a lost art rediscovered by Loredano Rosin, Dino's predecessor and older brother. Rosin's studio produces the clearest and most colorful Calcedonia glass in the world. Impossible to duplicate, each piece is completely unique in its color. |
