Master lampworker Lucio Bubacco possesses a technical expertise, knowledge of colour and of the nature of glass that allows him to create inimitable works: figures entirely shaped by hand and included in blown glass or castings. “In my works, I represent mainly scenes of bacchanalia, with satyrs, nymphs, angels, gods, mythological figures set in dramatic or erotic scenes. But it's all very figurative and realistic.” In his recent “Escape from coronavirus,” Lucio mixes current events with history, depicting Charon on a boat with the damned, two devils pulling them along and above Hermes the god of medicine with two angels protecting him. On the side, two chalices surmount two spheres that look like the coronavirus, with glass snakes projecting out of them. “It took me a couple of months to make it but the idea is a glance, a split second.”
