Intro

The works of Riccardo Toso Borella are characterized by a profound exploration of memory, illusion, and perception, materialized through the use of glass. With a strong focus on oppositions – between the visible and the invisible, the noble and the ephemeral, fragility and strength – the artist invites the viewer to reflect on the complexity of the human condition. Each creation becomes an invitation to explore the tension between past and present, between matter and its representation, in a play of transparencies that simultaneously reveals and conceals. Borella suspends the observer in a dimension where illusion becomes truth, and memory, even in its fragile forms, continues to live on in a new interpretation.
