Luigi Benzoni titled "Volta" Glass Sculpture, with gold leaf details. Benzoni, born in 1956 in Bergamo, Italy, is a Venetian artist renowned for his innovative approach to art. Initially trained in architecture and art history, he began his career in Venice in the 1970s, primarily working with oil paint. Over time, he diversified into glass, porcelain, and bronze, often focusing on human faces with minimalistic yet expressive lines. His unique blend of painting and sculpting techniques resulted in captivating pieces that straddle the line between abstract and concrete.
