With all the technological tools artists now have, it is hard to figure out what is real and what is imagined, as shown with Adam Martinakis' amazing work. Although he appears to work predominantly with metals, creating surreal sculptures that seem utterly tangible, Adam Martinakis actually created them through computer programs.
Born in Lubań, Poland, Adam Martinakis currently lives and works in Athens, Greece. He specializes in digital 3D fine art and videos, creating works of art in between sleep and his day job teaching digital graphics at Hellenic – American Educational Foundation. As an award-winning artist, Adam Martinakis' work has shown around the world, garnering much attention along the way from artists and non-artists alike.
