Lucio Bubacco (Italian, b.1957), Devil Holding Flower, 1997. Flameworked glass.

This close-up view of Italian master Lucio Bubacco’s Devil Holding Flower betrays a level of detail unrivaled amongst his contemporaries. From the sinewy definition of the abdominal muscles to the fine characteristics of the fingers and flower, Bubacco’s artistry serves to model the human figure in gesture in movement.
