Broken glass art · Yasin Uca

Portraits drawn in fractured light.

Original broken glass art, made entirely by hand. Each work begins as a sheet of laminated safety glass; several hundred controlled strikes draw the image, the back is painted black, and the piece is framed, signed and certified. It exists once.

Selected works

Every fracture is struck by hand into the glass. None can be undone.

All works

The process

No brush. No eraser. No second chance.

01

Strike

Hundreds of controlled strikes on laminated safety glass. The interlayer holds every fracture in place.

02

Reveal

Every crack catches light at its own angle. Highlights are built strike by strike — a mark cannot be taken back.

03

Frame & sign

The back is painted black for depth. The work is framed in 6063 aluminium, signed, plated and certified.

The artist

Yasin Uca

“Glass is the only material that hides its soul until you dare to break it.”

Based in Turkey, Yasin worked through stained glass, string art, mosaic, carving and painting before glass became his medium — a dialogue between control and chaos, fragility and resilience.
