Giampietro Filippetti designs and creates magnificent fine-art glass mosaic artworks that literally add a warm and distinctive presence. With such a tedious process and fragile material as glass, the end results seem effortless. Giampietro Filippetti combines the intricacies of curves and organic forms that flow seamlessly into architecturally perfect straight lines, giving true mean to the word "fine art". Giampietro Filippetti chose to study the masterful mosaics of Italy. Residing in Milan for over a decade, he began fusing his love and passion for this historic art form with the avant garde aesthetics of Italy's design and fashion industries. Arriving in Canada in 2003, Giampietro discovered the perfect media with which to bring his artistic visions to life - the remarkable cache of artistic glass available in America, which is very different from the more traditional Smalti glass of Italy. Filippetti mosaics have been pursued and purchased by collectors and buyers through North America.
