Bruno Romanelli is a London based artist specialising in the technique of lost-wax glass casting. All the images on this site have employed this technique in some way.

For much of his career, Bruno Romanelli was known for his figurative glass sculptures which have been exhibited globally. More recently his work has moved in a completely different direction, concentrating on ideas associated with abstract sculptural vessels. This work explores the themes of light, colour, form and harmony within the context of the glass material.

Today, Bruno works full-time on glass making in his studio in south London, where he mainly concentrates on his own work for exhibition. He also takes on commissions, portraiture and can be employed for his technical expertise of glass casting to make other artists work.
