The artistic partnership between master Mario Furlan and artist Luigi Voltolina, both linked by a passion for glass art and a long friendship, has resulted in a new production of sculptures entitled "Angels." The Angel although iconographically represented through human likeness with wings (the only attribute intermediary between spiritual and material, physical and metaphysical) is an incorporeal, ethereal entity that, like glassy matter, carries with it all the essence of its fiery and luminous nature. Voltolina's drawing research has always focused on the study of the human figure aimed at achieving a stylistic and conceptual synthesis that has found its highest expression in the plastic transposition in glass, mediated by master Furlan.
Born in Valona in 1942, Luigi Voltolina arrived in Venice at the age of two, with the repatriation of his family. After graduating in Graphic Arts at the Venice Art Institute, he worked for a brief time at the Toso Brothers Glass Factories in Murano.
Within the factories, he encounters the Murano world for the first time, as well as the prime substance that is handled on the Island: Glass.
