Dylan Martinez is known for his hyperrealistic glass sculptures that mimic crumpled plastic water bags and delicate water balloons, capturing the illusion of liquid trapped within. Using masterful glassblowing techniques, he manipulates transparency, light, and form to create pieces that seem impossibly real. His work plays with perception, making viewers question whether they are looking at solid glass or actual water-filled objects. Martinez explores deception, sensory experience, and the boundary between reality and illusion through these meticulously crafted sculptures.
