She uses the shattered pieces of glass to represent the furry coats of her glimmering beasts. Each animal is created with precise form and are easily identifiable despite lacking specific features. These shimmering critters almost look as though they have just survived the Nemo storm as they are completely adorned in [icicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv). The fine use of the carefully broken pieces of glass is a marvel to behold. Marta Klonowska is an artist from Poland who specializes in bringing animals designs to life with glass. Her animals are inspired from paintings by famous masters of old including Peter Paul Ruben and Francisco de Goya. Her prolific work is regularly featured in art exhibits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alternative Mediums:** Exploring the use of unconventional materials to create unique and visually stunning art pieces. - **Precise Form:** Emphasizing the importance of meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in creating lifelike animal sculptures. - **Incorporating Nature:** Integrating natural elements, such as icicles, into art to create a sense of realism and capture the essence of storms or other natural phenomena. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore the use of unconventional materials and meticulous craftsmanship to create innovative and captivating art pieces. - **Exhibition and Events:** Event organizers can feature unique art installations that incorporate natural elements, creating immersive and visually striking experiences for attendees. - **Home Decor:** Designers and retailers can offer glass animal sculptures as unique and eye-catching decor pieces that blend art and nature in a contemporary way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Artisanal Artful Glass Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaanch-glass-series.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Glass Geometry Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-collection.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md)
