Above all, he gave the idiom a new sense of fluidity.” That was how Rod Paras-Perez encapsulated the achievements of Ramon Orlina. His impeccable craftsmanship brings art glass to new heights. In this 2020 piece titled Rest In My Arms, a carved green glass piece, Orlina once again exhibited his artistic glass impressions through stellar representations of the facets of light. The illusions created through the various prismatic views add to the timeless beauty of Orlina’s art. His sculptures give an overall experience that invites dialogue and discourse. A viewer can appreciate an Orlina piece from any angle and interpret it beyond the artist’s original intent. (P.I.R.)
