Leonardo Cimolin
Leonardo Cimolin is the furnace’s son.
From blowing to lampworking, from casting to thermoforming, from engraving to grinding.
For Leonardo expressive freedom is having the the technical knowledge of glass. A skill that he not only uses in his works, but which he generously places in the hands of those who wish to understand (and glean) its secrets.
Cimolin is not only a great artist, but he also leads the Murano glass culture towards contemporary forms and implementations. Forms and implementations suggested by people who, apparently, have nothing to do with Murano, however, are the avant-garde of Murano.
Avant-garde of which Leonardo is the mentor.
