The Depth Must Be Hidden.
Where? At the surface.
In the Project Room of Marignana
Arte, the works of Alessandro Diaz
de Santillana, entitled, The depth
Must Be Hidden. Where? At the surface, until September 15, is curated by Ilaria Bignotti. Over the last ten
years, the artist has studied the ancient techniques of the Venini glass dynasty, which was founded
in Murano in 1921 by his grandfather
Paolo Venini. Alessandro Diaz de Santillana has gone on to widen and enrich his
own knowledge of the complex techniques of glass work, to “forget by heart” and
translate those techniques in a lyrical and conceptual language of great
intensity.

Alessandro Diaz de

The Depth Must Be Hidden.
Where? At the surface.
The patina of the past merges
with the present spark of Alessandro Diaz de Santillana's work, which in turn
dives into and mixes with the cloudy mystery of the future. Diaz de
Santillana's artwork reworks the ancient technique of flat glass window production;
the result is a material-forward piece that is compact and powerful, imposing
itself on its surroundings – the opposite of the fragile and ethereal image of
glass.
