Discovered Steampunk Artist : Diarment from Barcelona
I see a lot of
steampunk Artist . Recently i stumbled on one that i have first met on
DeviantArt .
I often look on
ETSY to see what new
steampunk stuff comes out and i was very happy to come
across what i had previously seen on
DeviantArt . So i purchase one of the clock . What i especially like is the
aestestic that make this
functional piece of art look like it is powered by some ancient mysterious technology .
Tell us a bit about yourself name, location, affiliations, personal stuff?My name is Rafa Maya,
I'm known as
diarment on
ETSY and
DeviantArt. I am a multidisciplinary artist, based in Barcelona (Spain).
My artistic career began with drawing and painting, activities that i will not give up; but my ideas and projects will be expanded soon by computers, music, photography, modeling techniques and all that is close at hands .
Please describe your creative process how, when, materials, etc ?First, I am influenced by things I see and feel: movies, pictures, events, etc.. the idea is taking root in my mind, once I
vocetos, then gather parts, recycle , model with putty and cardboard, then it all comes together and add the magic of painting, the work comes to an end.
How did you first become interested in the Steampunk Culture and - Why do you like it ?I've always been fascinated by the making of machinery, especially those that seems somewhat useless or actually fantastic and impossible , it is one of the qualities that I find interesting to
Steampunk world,
along with the imaginative freedom from ancient technologies , and try to translate those impressions in my works, some on canvas, sculpture, cardboard and scissors, and others with computers .
What is your favourite piece of work by yourself ? The favorite piece is always the last in which I work.
Also accept orders for a living, portrait, cartoons and design in general.
Name one of your favorite steampunk artist ?I could name many artists (most of them are on
deviantart) but I will appoint one, which is not anything long, his name is
Oscar Chichoni, an illustrator with qualities very
steampunk.
What are your goal , project , plans for the future ?My plans for today, tomorrow could change at any time and are uncertain.
What advice would you give new artists?I'm not locked in a very defined aesthetic, a style such as
Steampunk has to offer a wide range of possibilities .
