The crystals encase built structures and furniture pieces, creating [otherworldly compositions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1). These painted works capture large-scale [geometric sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-exhibition) that are transparent as if to resemble a glass materiality. These stunning sculptures are showcased in pale pink, green and blue hues that are juxtaposed with natural brick and wood material details. Bringing a fantastical vision to life, these delicately painted works defy tradition while playing with their viewer's perception. Whether depicting a geometry-infused brick home or a [crystal-encased chair object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001), these Geometric Sculpture Watercolors by Los Carpinteros showcase the immense talent and unique shared vision of the Cuban art collective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hybrid Architectural Illustrations:** Traditional architectural imagery combined with crystallized forms can be used to create unique and otherworldly compositions. - **Transparent Geometric Sculptures:** Creating large-scale geometric sculptures that are transparent could lead to new forms of art and architecture products. - **Fantastical Perception-defying Art:** Experimenting with art forms that defy tradition and play with viewers' perception could lead to the development of new visual communication techniques. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Artists can use hybrid architectural illustrations to create new forms of art that blur the lines between different styles and techniques. - **Architecture:** Architects and designers can incorporate the concept of transparent geometric sculptures into their work to create captivating structures. - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can experiment with combining crystal and traditional materials to create unique and futuristic furniture pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Glass Geometry Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection.md) - [Brain-Like Labyrinths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brash-collective.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md)
