Juan Miguel Palacios is a visionary. He doesn’t just paint paintings, he constructs them–better yet, he brings them to life. The spanish painter creates work that literally leaps from the canvas. By layering sheets of glass, each painted with a subsequent layer, Palacios achieves an eerie 3D effect that blurs the line between art and reality.
Intrigued by his process and execution, we sat down with Palacios to find out more about his unique approach and what inspires his craft.
