Art+ Magazine Issue 96

For over five decades, Ramon Orlina has captivated the art world with his glass sculptures—works of unparalleled beauty that demand not only artistic vision but immense physical strength. The delicate glass and heavy machinery he commands call for a rare fusion of finesse and power, cementing his legacy as a true pioneer in the medium. 

Today, his children, Anna and Michael, are taking the conversation around glass sculpture in bold, new directions, building upon their father’s legacy while charting their own artistic paths.

Anna Orlina’s approach is one of deliberate precision, where color, texture, and form come together in a harmonious dance. In contrast, Michael Orlina engages with glass on a more primal, instinctual level.

With their father as both a mentor and a guide, both have developed distinct artistic voices, each honoring the rich tradition of glass sculpture while boldly pushing its boundaries.
