+ OVERVIEW
Luigi Benzoni was born in 1956 in Bergamo, Italy. He has been living in Venice since 1976, studying architecture and traditional Murano glassmaking. He knows well the characteristics of glass, composing with drawing skills, to describe human face by lines. Thr ough the use of gold foil and the glass, as the mediums artist often adopts, the sculptures seems to have a glossy multicolored surface under the lights. In the Volto painting series, semi abstract human face formed by simple lines, the artist construct an atmosphere to the audience both clean and harmonious.
