As an artist, Lino has a complete mastery of technique in his medium which tends to make technique vanish, focusing instead on the beauty and mutability of the glass. Tagliapietra’s own artistic dialog with the glass is part of an evolving, artistic interchange, referencing relative contexts such as personal experiences, cultural identity, family, community, and nationality. A visit to a museum, a philosophical discussion, a book about architecture, or quilts, poetry, a dream in the night, or the excitement of developing a new technique are all seeds for the fertile imagination and creative explorations of Lino Tagliapietra.
