Apriti Cielo ( Open up Heaven) Sculpture

Born in Tehran (Iran). Graduated in Architecture at the University of Florence, in 1980. I worked in some studies of Architecture in the same city, as architectural and furniture designer until 1992, and later on my own until 1998. During this last period i approached the art of stained glass, studying and deepening the design and construction techniques. Since 1999, in my studio/workshop by exploiting the opportunities offered from these techniques, i have developed my own artistic expression, in order to interact the physical properties and aesthetic characteristics of the various materials i use into a single composite and harmonious artwork. Modern Abstract sculptures and installations composed of steel, iron wires, Glass, copper, aluminum. They try to describe paths and changing surfaces, telling a story, a reflection, a passion. Playing with glass transparencies, full and empty surfaces, inspiring lightness. I currently live and work in Latina (Roma, Italy)
