Ramon Orlina’s abstract sculptures are composed of a series of angles created by sharp bends or sleek edges that denote dynamic movement of fluid lines. By playfully manipulating varying quantities of natural light entering the colored glass and trapped at different angles or facets, his sculptures are never visually static. The viewer can appreciate his piece from any angle and interpret it beyond the artist’s original intent. Orlina’s achievement is in freeing the viewers to see his sculptures according to their interpretation. The illusions created through the various prismatic views intensify the viewer’s interpretation. The attributes of strength and fragility add to the timeless beauty of Orlinas’ art. Above all, he gave the genre a new sense of fluidity.
