Always being obsessed with light and color, neon has become the perfect medium for Marco creating organic neon sculptures focusing on shape, balance and proportion.       Using an age old medium in a very new way. 

 

On the chemistry side of neon, there are 4 noble gasses that can be used. Each gas gives off a different color and two can be mixed with a drop of mercury to change the color even more. Marco uses the entire palate of gas colors and glass colors to creat his landscape of color. 

This current series is all about pastel colored neon and introducing a very special kind of neon that is interactive to the human energy field. 
The pastel series is a soft light that glows and illuminates, unlike most neon that is very bright.  The current series shows the softer side of neon. Each piece has it's own personality within the glass color, thickness of glass, color of gas and in the way it illuminates.  

This interactive neon series interacts with your body's energy field when touched. The neon takes from your energy and makes each piece brighter or dimmer depending on how it is touched. You will see a color change at the contact point from blue to pink and from violet to blue. You can also direct the energy of the gas and illuminate it with your touch.  This series beckons the spirit of Nikola Tesla's vision of illuminating gasses. 

In another series the introduction of pigmented resin with Marco's neon sculptures takes this illuminated glass to another level. Each layer of resin is pigmented to create a foundation for the neon to lay in. Some neon is completely engulfed in resin, some create a resin base, while others the resin drips off to create organic patterns.

All glass made is Murano Italy 
All other components - electrodes & transformers are all America made.
