An extraordinary, investment-grade piece of contemporary studio art glass by internationally acclaimed sculptor Alexis Silk. Hand-sculpted in 2021, this monumental 32-inch-tall freestanding female torso—titled "Sensation in Bloom"—is a masterclass in the ancient Venetian tradition of freehand hot sculpting.
The sculpture features a stunning, luminous cobalt blue translucent body that gracefully transitions down to a solid, contrasting deep amber glass base. It is exquisitely adorned with delicate, hand-applied clear and gold-flecked glass floral blossoms cascading down the flank and shoulder, capturing a beautiful tension between structural strength and organic fragility.
Alexis Silk is globally renowned for her technical mastery, having trained under legendary Venetian maestro Pino Signoretto in Murano, Italy. Sculpting a hollow glass form of this massive scale entirely freehand is a monumental physical and technical feat, making this a rare and highly commanding centerpiece for a modern estate, luxury penthouse, or dedicated fine art collection.
