From a young age, Eric Hernandez has been captivated by the transformative power of art—how it can communicate complex emotions and ideas through form and material. This early fascination led him to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Glass at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where he was able to cultivate both technical skill and conceptual depth within his practice. While glass remains a foundational medium in his work, his artistic journey has always been defined by an ongoing exploration of sculpture. Eric is particularly drawn to the interplay of material, form, and space, and how these elements can evolve and interact in ways that transcend their individual properties. Throughout his career, Eric has pushed the boundaries of traditional sculpture by experimenting with a diverse range of materials and techniques, often collaborating with other artists and designers to enrich the process. His work is constantly evolving, informed by both his academic background and the collaborative environments he has engaged in. Each piece reflects his commitment to innovation and his belief in art’s ability to communicate ideas in unexpected ways.
