Named after the Gulf of Bothnia, the body of water that lies between Finland and Sweden, this ephemeral glass series is distinguished by its elegant teardrop silhouette and its uniquely segmented styles of murrine, which lend each piece a delicate yet striking visual complexity.

A singular vessel from 1998, this Altino boasts a combination of tightly packed murrine and precise cold-working. The pieces of murrine overlap and weave together, leaving small gaps of glass throughout the body of the piece, and hand-carved cuts cover the exterior adding even more dimension to this stimulating work. 

Inspired by his visit to Australia and the aboriginal paintings he saw there, Lino created the Kookaburra series. These vessels feature vibrant and intricate patterns similar to the aboriginal style, and play with balance as the forms often perch atop a small base.

Named after an ancient Mesopotamian city, this piece draws inspiration from its ruins in both design and color. Its large scale evokes the city's former grandeur. Created using blown glass, it features canes intentionally deformed with tweezers to produce irregular surfaces. This technique adds texture and dynamism, enhancing the expressive quality of the work.

In 2017 Lino had the opportunity to visit China and Taiwan for an international exhibition of his works. This trip inspired the creation of these monochromatic pieces. Named for Taiwan’s capital, these works pay homage to traditional scroll painting in Asian art.

This piece features a complex cane-working technique involving careful preparation. The design is created by layering colored rods three times. The canes are then blown into a ribbed mold, assembled, and blown again to form the final shape. This method results in a richly detailed, intricate pattern. 

The Aquilone series, introduced in early 2019, represents a fresh innovation in the Maestro’s body of work. It features distinctive oval-shaped murrine that form vibrant “windows” of color scattered throughout the glass, giving each piece a sense of movement and lightness. He named the series "Aquilone," the Italian word for kite, as a tribute to those joyful moments and the creative spirit they continue to ignite in his work. 

This piece is composed of dozens of murrine, each containing a striped pattern which creates a feathered effect when blown into a vessel. The Maestro looks to nature for inspiration for this vessel, and has named this artwork Pavone, or “peacock” in Italian.
