Silvio Vigliaturo

He is a glassfusion maestro and his technique is appreciated internationally and considered unique in his genre by the most important Italian and foreign critics.

Glass, steel, terra cotta and painting[2] – which he never abandoned – are treated like matter, but represent as well an ideological choice, an important connotation of both his human and artistic growth.

His glass works, which the artist creates in his bottega in Chieri, represent the conflict between the modernity of the image, the sign, the idea and the antiquity of the medium.

Labeled as Homo Faber, his works are first thought, then interpreted and lived through a constant symbiotic relationship between mind and industriosity, consciousness and craftsmanship, creativity and visual poignancy.

In 2006, while the city of Turin chose him as the only artistic testimonial for the Winter Olympics, in Acri was inaugurated the MACA – Civic Museum of Contemporary Art Silvio Vigliaturo.
