Biography
Livio Seguso was born in 1930 in Murano, where he still actively works today. He began his relationship with glass at a young age, fascinated by the endless enchantment of this marvelous material. After an in-depth experience with traditional techniques, the artist, stimulated by a strong artistic sensitivity, embarked on an interesting and personal exploration of sculptural form that led him to explore the world of the great masters of contemporary sculpture with considerable interest.
His knowledge of the material allows him to fully express himself. In fact, the artist manages to reveal the infinite potential of this mysterious material, in an incessant variation of spaces and thicknesses, always directed towards an absolute purity of form. Livio Seguso’s artistic maturity reached its peak at the end of the 1970s, when he completely abandoned any trace of the noble Muranese tradition, giving space only to pure, shimmering and ambiguous crystal in its transparency, in an unadulterated imaginative vision.
