Silvano Rubino's archive of drawings spans the period from 2001 to 2023. It includes excecutive projects, drawings and an artist's sketchbook, for a total of approximately 230 records that chronicle the Venetian artist's career in the field of glass art. The rich body of documentation, divided into the series Vasi Oggetto, Installazioni, Lampadari, Sculture, refers to the main categories of projects also executed in borosilicate glass. This allows us to grasp Rubino's extraordinarily efficient and focused approach, working to conceive unique pieces and installations according to a coherent design process, the result of close collaboration with the finest masters, glassblowers and engravers.
