Masai

The Masai Series is another of Lino’s enduring inspirations. Named for the Masai Tribe of Kenya and Tanzania, Lino pays homage to the tribe’s long decorative spears in these wall installations. This totem was designed by the Maestro in 2020 as a new way of presenting the works.

Endeavor

Lino began the Endeavor series in the late 1980s, using molds to create small and slender boats. Over the next 10 years, Tagliapietra continued to experiment with Endeavor, eventually achieving the meter-long vessels that compose the series today.

Gioiello

Avventurina is a glassblowing technique from the 17th century that combines metal shavings with molten glass. This is an extremely difficult process that requires patience and persistence. Lino further intensifies this method by adding additional colors, culminating in his particularly precious Avventurine vessels.

Borneo

In the Borneo series, Lino applies long thin canes to the exterior surface of the glass, which interrupts the internal swirl of cane within the vessel itself. Lino wanted to evoke the idea of a bamboo forest, and the movement the plants have when blowing gently in the wind.
