Each figure is elegantly elongated, with fluid, arched poses that evoke the beauty and discipline of ballet.
Overlayed in mouth-blown crystal Murano glass, the dancers feature glossy black faces and raised arms, which contrast beautifully with the vibrant, multicolored underlaid vertical stripes that adorn their bodies—an artistic language influenced by the Memphis Group. The color palette includes bold tones of dark burgundy red, yellow, pastel blue, green, and turquoise, blending harmoniously to express movement and rhythm. They stand on clear, curved glass bases that enhance the poised balance of the dancer’s foot en pointe, giving the piece an ethereal quality.
An exquisite and joyful celebration of dance and color, these highly collectible Formia sculptures exemplify the elegance, craftsmanship, and creativity synonymous with authentic Murano artistry.
