Luigi Voltolina has been one of the Artists whom Miles Davis relied on to portray his concerts.
With the death of the great trumpeter in 1991, the collaboration was interrupted, and such event led to the creation of a series of pictorial works which were used by Voltolina in 2021 as inspiration for the creation of four sculptures portraying the musician, manufactured in Murano Glass.
The sculptures from the HOMAGE TO MILES collection are manufactured by Glass Master Mario 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.
