Szosz’s glass sculptures start their life as countless glass pieces resting on ceramic fiber paper. The artist then bakes them at high temperatures in the kiln before inflating them using an air compressor. The inflating takes place in a matter of minutes with no room for error.
“Once you pull it out to inflate it, what you get is what you get,” he explained in a recent chat with Colossal.
According to Szosz, his innovative use of glass “explores the intersection of the material, the intellectual, and the poetic.” His creations have brought him a number of awards, including the Jutta-Cuny Franz Award and Tiffany Foundation Grant, while being exhibited in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and the Smithsonian Institution, among other places. Take a look at more of them below.

“I create animals, plant life and insects using only balloons. (Adhesive, marker pen, etc. are not used at all.),” he wrote on his Instagram account.
The balloon twister has elevated the inflated craft of balloon animals to a different level. Most of his works take around 3-6 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the animal he wants to make.
