Blue opaque glass covers the inner layers of the portraits.
Blue stands for romance, especially for the romantic longing for the unattainable, the infinite and the absolute, for melancholy, for romantic love. Leonardo da Vinci describes in the Book of Painting the essence and effect of blue as immaterial, not a colour of the air, but a metaphysical mixture of sunlight with the “blackness of the world eclipse”.

Eva Moosbrugger (Germany, 1957) began her artistic journey in 1974. Initially trained in painting and material experimentation, she
transitioned to sculpture in 1984, engaging with materials like iron, stone, and Raku-ceramics before dedicating herself fully to glass in the mid-1990s. Her works have been exhibited globally at esteemed institutions in the EU, USA, UAE, Canada and Japan and were
commissioned by distinguished collections.
