He worked as an art director at the long-established glass brand "Venini" in Murano, Italy.
Currently active as an artist, Michela Cattai has gained a strong reputation in Europe and the United States.
This exhibition, entitled "Acqua della Vita - Water of Life," will feature a series of glass works in which the natural beauty of Murano Island in Venice is mysteriously reflected.
The Laguna series is inspired by the Venetian lagoon, and the series is inspired by plants from the natural world.
The exhibition will feature works that reveal her deep connection with nature.
Her glass works are artistic pieces that combine a painterly quality created by the arrangement of colors with a sculptural quality created by the opacity and distinctive curves.
The free color arrangement, calculated and created by the artist himself, expands the painterly element of glass,
The light contained within the opaque glass exudes a poetic, spiritual and mysterious quality.
The sculptural curves evoke the inherent beauty of nature and the sensual poetry of the work, inspiring viewers to engage with it deeply and be moved.
Michela Cattai does not seek simple beauty, but instead strives to reach the true essence of beauty by adhering to an "an-aesthetic" approach. This philosophy begins with an immersive approach in which the viewer is not taken into account when creating, and goes beyond visual "beauty."
Michela Cattai's glass works, created based on this concept of "non-aesthetic," encompass all these elements.
Her deep insights, the accumulation of time and respect in working with Murano artisans, her own experiences and philosophies.
Please come to the exhibition to see the works and spaces in which a refined spirituality that lies on a level beyond simple visual beauty is expressed through the stories of light and shadow in glass.
