At first, Pancho Piano in the particular art of glass etching as he filled transparent two-dimensional planes with complex design which interacted with the environment in natural or artificial light. Having thoroughly acquainted himself with the medium. The glass itself was oven baked and held together by lead tracery to produce the large color-suffused windows similar to medieval churches. The medium of the glass was characterized by its fascinating interaction with the ambient light of the environmental space. As though in movement, it grows from the gradually brightening down, the blazing tropical noon to the violet shades of late sunset. All the while, the varicolored stained glass modulates its hues to the changing sky in continuous but large cosmic waves. Designing stained glass was a challenging and spiritually exhilarating experience for the artist. Usually made for church domes and windows, the subject were invariably religious: Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the saints in the celestial realm or amidst suffering humanity. Conceptualizing and composing the images into the art form gave him a surge of faith in the holy narratives.
