Glass, for Silvio, is not simply a means of expression but rather an ideological choice that permits him to cast towards the future and the present while remaining tied to tradition. DESCRIPTION
Bespoke Glass Sculpture
Silvio Vigliaturo is a master of glass-fusing. He has developed his technique through years of experimentation and research and his work has become increasingly original and personal, its unique nature being recognized by experts and critics around the world.
BIOGRAPHY
He was born at Acri in Calabria, Italy in 1949. In 1962 he came to Chieri, near Turin, where he now lives and works.

Vigliaturo's inspiration was sparked in 1986, when he visited the 'Futurismo e Futurism" exhibition in Venice, experiencing the work of Picasso, Miro, Matisse and Chagall, and current of Futurism and Expressionism; these influences continue to be apparent in his work.
