About the artist

Forti Daniela

Italy

Daniela Forti, born in 1960 in Rome, is an artist who specializes in glass, a material she has studied and mastered through years of research and experimentation. After learning glassmaking techniques in Rome's artisan shops, she embraced methods like leaded glass, Tiffany, and fusion. Forti has developed a deep understanding of glass's "indomitable character," working with metal and glass through processes such as re-firing and sanding. She describes glass as a challenging yet magical medium, bending it to her will through imagination and passion.

About the artwork

Ginko Oro


Sculptures. Fused glass.

Hand selected by our curators


This sculpture, made of transparent fused glass and gold mica, represents a ginkgo leaf—an ancient tree known for its longevity and resilience. The fan-like shape recalls the iconic form of the ginkgo leaf, with glass slats evoking its delicate veins. The presence of gold mica adds shimmering, iridescent reflections that echo the leaf’s autumnal hues.
