Afro was born in Venice in 1963. He started working in glass when he was 15, and has worked with the best First Master glass blowers like Lino Tagliapietra and Oino Signoretto. When Tagliapietra left to open his own studio, Afro was asked to replace him as the first master at F3 International. In 1999 Afro opened his own art studio mastering the most difficult techniques: incalmo, filigrana, reticello, murrina, and cold work. After a brief closure in 2009, he opened a new studio in January 2010. He has moved beyond excellence in execution and now feels free to devote his focus to aristic expression and unique works. The careful study of the alternation of opacity and transparence allows bands of light to filter inside and outside the vessel. The color combinations are sometimes daring, sometimes classic and rarefied, but always contemporary and innovative.
