bio

Andrea Penzo is an artist and researcher who works primarily with glass, exploring its formal, symbolic, and political potential within contemporary art practice. His work originates in Murano, approached as a field of experimentation in which artisanal knowledge, symbolic economy, and global transformations intersect.

His artworks address issues related to value, cultural production, responsibility in design processes, and the relationship between art and territory. The practice unfolds through sculptural works, installations, and long-term research projects, with glass as the central material of investigation.

Alongside his personal research, Andrea Penzo develops commissioned projects and strategic collaborations. These include partnerships with institutions, companies, and international brands in the fields of fashion and design, among them Fendi, Dior, and Green Wolf, bringing together advanced technical expertise, experimentation, and critical vision.

His activities also encompass writing, academic and educational projects, artistic consultancy, and site-specific interventions, often developed in dialogue with universities and research contexts.
