Most of his blown glass sculptures are made in series, and they are entitled by the traveling adventures Tagliapietra had: Maui, Bilbao, Seattle Sunset.

At the age of 25, Lino Tagliapietra was already a Maestro a master glass blower. He is a true master in making what he imagines. He creates the idea himself, and develops it independently, too. Glass is a medium that transfers all of Tagliapietra’s experiences and activities. "When people come in who have no glass experience, and that's virtually everyone," Richard Basch who started collecting glass and ceramics more than 20 years ago, said, "they have to be taught how to look. You look at it, you look into it and you look through it," he said. "The imagery of what you see is by and large what the artist wants you to see."
