ABOUT THE WORK

For Ramon Orlina, glass has the most potential in expressing his visual imagery. His abstract sculptures are composed of a series of angles through creating sharp edges or slender bends that denote movement and fluid lines. Furthermore, the renowned sculptor’s works are never static masses, owing to his creative manipulation of the diverse quality of light entering and retaining at various angles. Once again, Orlina exhibited in this 1990 piece 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. “Glass is an endlessly intriguing material,” Orlina has said. “This gives me a greater challenge to explore its possibilities.” Indeed, his impeccable craftsmanship brings art glass to new heights.
