Elena Trevisan lives and works in Venice, Italy. Since 2012, she has been attending the PhD in Architectural Composition at the Iuav University of Venice. Between 2012 and 2013 she was holder of an FSE research grant at the Iuav University of Venice, in partnership with Venini. She focused on developing new, unique geometries for glass art design. In 2013, she participated in the Jean François Niceron. Prospettiva, catottrica e magia artificiale exhibition at Gino Valle Gallery in Venice.
As a designer, I base my research on the physical models proposed by pure and applied mathematics in the early 20th century.
The main inspiration for this piece comes from the weather conditions. Glass, just like the weather can evolve, change its form. My work answers the need to catch such a beautiful moment when a cloud is forming. The diversity of shapes and colours is simply breathtaking. I tried to freeze a second into two different colors glass pieces joined together with Incalmo technique.
