Homage to Picasso by Sandro Frattin. Unique Murano glass vase in red, blue, green and yellow. The outside of the vase is formed into the shape of two simplistic human faces.

A striking and unique Murano glass vase by renowned Italian glass artist Sandro Frattin, created as a tribute to the revolutionary artistic vision of Pablo Picasso. Titled Homage to Picasso, this sculptural work exemplifies Frattin’s mastery of Murano glassmaking and his ability to combine fine art with functional design.

Handcrafted in vibrant shades of red, blue, green, and yellow, the vase features an expressive exterior formed into the shape of two stylised human faces, evoking the fragmented perspectives and bold visual language associated with Picasso’s Cubist portraits. The faces emerge seamlessly from the vessel’s form, transforming the piece into both a decorative vase and a captivating sculptural artwork.

Executed in richly coloured Murano glass, the work demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship, with fluid contours, luminous colour, and a dynamic interplay of light across its surface. As a unique piece, it stands as a distinctive example of contemporary Venetian glass art.
