Striking original mosaic by Enzo Scianna, signed and dated 1973 on the reverse. The composition depicts a surreal glacial landscape at sunset, rendered in dramatic red tones and powerful contrasts.
Made with glass paste tesserae, this work showcases Scianna’s exploration of expressive color and abstract forms during the 1970s. The tension between the icy white glaciers, dark red and black mountains, and the fiery sky creates a rich, symbolic visual language.
The piece is mounted on a wooden panel and features a vintage white-painted frame with a natural jute border, enhancing the bold aesthetic of the mosaic.
Enzo Scianna (b. 1943) is a Sicilian-born mosaic artist based in Ravenna, the Italian capital of mosaic art. His work blends Byzantine tradition with modern artistic expression. His mosaics are part of several public and private collections in Italy and abroad.
