The uniqueness of this piece lies in its intricate cane work, vibrant colors, and elegant elongated form. Its balanced proportions create a dynamic presence: the solid base suggests movement and momentum, while the slender upper section brings lightness and harmony. Together, these elements guide the eye upward, giving the work an architectural quality. The title “Madras” references the colorful Indian textile, echoing the artwork’s rhythm, variation, and rich interplay of color.

“Kata,” the Japanese word for “shape,” is a fitting title for a work that celebrates the expressive power of form. Lino chose it to highlight the sculpture’s distinctive silhouette, unusual, simple, and instantly striking. Its clean, essential lines create balance and harmony, making form the true focal point. At the same time, bold color contrasts add vitality and character, bringing energy and movement to its refined structure.

In Swahili, the word ‘Simba’ means lion, an animal that embodies both strength and grace, qualities that inspired Lino in the creation of this piece. Its bold colors, simple yet assured form, and cold working, which is at once elegant and powerful, all contribute to its striking presence. Black canes surround the vessel, adding another element whose goal is to capture the viewer’s attention.

Inspired by the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, this artwork captures the sense of movement and transformation found in sculptural design. Like the museum’s flowing titanium curves, its appearance shifts with changing light and perspective as the viewer moves around it. Through varied colors and meticulous cold-working techniques, each detail reveals its own unique character, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving visual experience.

The name Naomi means joy and delight, qualities that shine through in this artwork. Simple, elegant, and effective, the piece has a quiet sophistication, yet its straightforward, but dramatic shape at the same time, immediately draws the eye. The lack of color keeps the focus on the subtle cold working at the center, which adds an almost poetic touch and gives the piece a gentle, captivating depth.

Using the incalmo technique, Lino fuses bands of color directly into the glass, creating depth, movement, and subtle complexity. In this work, a striking duality emerges: one side features delicate transparency that welcomes light, while the other displays richer, more defined colors that create strong visual contrast. The interplay between these elements establishes a harmonious balance, enhancing the piece’s expressive character. 

Named after the Italian word for “jellyfish,” this piece showcases a particularly intricate technique. The Maestro first blew a spherical form, then opened small holes to insert circular cane compositions. As the glass was reheated and fused, these elements expanded and stretched, creating delicate forms reminiscent of jellyfish drifting through water. The result is a captivating surface rich in movement, depth, and visual rhythm.
