UNIQUE GIFTING IDEA - NEW REALISTIC GLASS SCULPTURES

Micucci Interiors

Hyper-realistic hand-blown glass sculptures by American sculptor Dylan Martinez from his illusory series of work titled “H2O/SiO2”. Each sculpture is both hollow and solid, and is individually hand-sculpted from a crystal-clear glass.
Artist Dylan Martinez combines several glass-blowing and sculpting techniques to form these hyper-realistic plastic bags from molten glass. Through these works, Martinez creates scenarios that obscure the viewer’s interpretation of reality and illusion. Driven by a deep curiosity in perception, Martinez creates these unique sculptures that convince the eye that the sculptures are just as they appear, plastic bags filled with water. Dylan’s art often examines the boundaries of human perception.
His work challenges the viewer’s expectations through the manipulation of light, space, and the optical properties of glass. While influenced by traditional techniques in glassmaking, he constantly strives to discover novel approaches to exploit the material and create a lens to view the world afresh. Through Dylan’s artwork, the artist creates scenarios in which the viewer must question their capacity to navigate between reality and illusion. His curiosity of perception is driven by the fact that he is red-green colourblind. 
Inspired by Trompe L’oeil (an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion), these pieces are made entirely out of hot glass while it is between 650-1150 degrees, which is then appearing as plastic bags of water. The trapped movement of the rising bubbles and the gesture of the forms convince the eye that the sculptures are just as they seem. What is fascinating is that our desires often override our true perception of reality and you believe what you think is visible as the truth.

Micucci Interiors offers an exclusive range of designer home accessories, lighting and fine art. Although we tend to specialise in accessories, we sometimes incorporate very special and unique pieces to our collection, resulting in an eclectic mix rather than a uniform style. We travel around Europe and the rest of the world to source exciting new pieces that we regularly add to our collection.

Micucci Interiors allows you to add interesting pieces to your interiors, teaming the elegant with the unusual. Our choices are dictated by spontaneous attraction to shapes and colours as much as knowledge of design. We draw our inspiration from famous designers and artists from around the world, which helps us to put together the range of our carefully curated pieces.

Micucci Interiors is an independent company, that provides an individual approach to every order by building a personal relationship with all our new and existing clients. We work closely with all of our artists to achieve and deliver the best possible product. Over the past years, Micucci Interiors maintained a friendly and personal relationship with all our affiliated artists, who always go that extra mile to support our clients, offering a first-class service at all time.
