The invisible language
The abstract poetics of Bice Lazzari that inspired Creative Collection Chapter XV
Among the most silent yet powerful voices of the 20th-century Italian art scene, Bice Lazzari—born Beatrice Lazzari in Venice in 1900—stands out for a body of work that avoids the excesses of her time to embrace a language that is both essential and deeply personal.
After studying at the Liceo Artistico and the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, she initially focused on decoration and textile and interior design, collaborating with architects and craftsmen of her era.
Over time, she gradually left figurative art behind to devote herself to abstract painting, bringing with her a refined sense of balance, proportion, and detail.
Her compositions—built on thin lines, minimal geometries, and muted color palettes—suggest a secret code, an invisible language capable of speaking in silence.
Her art is often described as musical: each stroke resembles a note, every pause on the canvas a suspended moment filled with meaning.
This meditative and introspective quality made her work unique—removed from trends yet perfectly aligned with a timeless pursuit of elegance.
It is precisely from this invisible language that one of the themes of Creative Collection Chapter XV, the latest chapter in the Glamora collection, takes shape.
The theme dedicated to Bice Lazzari interprets her abstraction with a measured and harmonious aesthetic, capable of transforming walls into contemplative surfaces. Lines unfold like visual melodies, colors whisper emotions, while space expands in sophisticated stillness.
The aim is to honour an artist who transformed silence into art, and minimal gestures into profound meaning.
Thus, Lazzari’s lyrical rigour and compositional grace find new voice in contemporary interior design, through a narrative that unites form and feeling, memory and modernity.
Through this reinterpretation, Glamora embraces Bice Lazzari’s legacy with delicacy and respect, offering surfaces that invite inner listening and the pleasure of a slowed-down gaze, made of balance and intuition.
