Jesus, Mary, and Joseph find themselves in many a canvas, depicted in the stable by many brilliant artists throughout history. However, Ramon Orlina’s Holy Family in Mediterranean Blue stands out, particularly because it was a sculpture carved from hard glass.<br /><br />Pioneering the Philippine glass sculpture industry, Orlina’s practice differs from the usual glassblowing technique. His process is one of abrasion rather than heat, diligently chipping away at a block of glass to create a masterpiece. Art critic Rod Paras-Perez notes that Orlina “molds the glass as a sculptor would a piece of marble or any stone. Often by painstakingly guiding each work into the shape or form he wants.” Deservedly, his work is not only acclaimed in the country but also abroad.<br /><br />In the 2016 Holy Family in Mediterranean Blue, Orlina depicts the family in his three-dimensional abstract style. The deep blue denotes a feeling of calm, a serenity that many religious followers attest to as they profess their faith. The Mediterranean blue is dynamic, turned even more brilliant when the light hits the glass. This piece is uniquely multidimensional with its ability to be viewed from all angles. For all intents and purposes, Holy Family in Mediterranean Blue displays everything that made Orlina a household name in the Philippine art scene: his aptitude for color, his prowess with light, and his mastery of depth.
