Daniela Forti

Daniela Forti was born in Rome in 1960, where she graduated from the School of Art. Very young she studies and learns in the artisan shops of the capital the techniques of the art of glass. In 1982 he moved to Tuscany, where opens his studio. It is in this context that it refines and develops a completely personal research based on the relationship light-glass.
I love my work, I express myself with color, transparency and the light of glass, a material so dangerous and difficult to manipulate but which is also a wonderful, magical material.
I remember that the inspiration for working glass came from looking at glass blowers and the creation process, from that moment on a dream came true that was to come true.
Throughout my life, expressing myself artistically has been a need, a need not to be ignored, so I spent years learning everything that gravitated around glassmaking techniques: from leaded glass, Tiffany technique, welding techniques , paintings. Finally, I discovered the fusion
In a short time, the melting of the glass in the oven was taking me and could no longer be denied.
It is now a perpetual challenge for me, bringing it to the limits of the impossible, making matter ever more fluid, moving as if it had the desire...
