Interest in steampunk can be compared with the nostalgia of modern society, for which there is practically nothing impossible left, for the Victorian era, when endless possibilities were just opening up before humanity, having mastered mechanics. Steampunk style is characteristic of the works of a contemporary Polish artist from Warsaw, Anna Dabrowska … She is engaged scrapbookingusing for her amazing collages not only such familiar materials as buttons, brooches or lace, she even has old computer parts in her arsenal, as well as dried insects.
Anna Dabrowska signs her work with the pseudonym Finnabair. The girl admits that the texture of things is very important for her, which is why she chose the direction of scrapbooking, which allows her to combine completely different elements in one work. Anna loves flea markets where you can find a huge selection of antiques. She believes that most of them can get a second life in her creations, because things "with history" can tell a lot.
Household items in Anna's hands turn into elements of real works of art. We regularly write about works in the style of steampunk on our website Kulturologiya.ru, but it is very difficult to find analogues to the creations of Anna Dabrowski. Old cogs, fake flowers, or even plain pushpins can all do a great job. The artist's rich imagination brings together all the elements, and then real masterpieces are born. Anna Dabrowska admits that at such moments she forgets about everything, creating collages almost intuitively. When the painstaking work is over, and all things are in their places, the master paints them with bright colors or sets off with an aerosol.
By the way, wonderful collages are obtained not only from old things, newspapers, flyers and glossy magazines can serve as excellent material. Scrapbooking from printed materials is a feature of the American Derek Gores, with whose work the readers of the site Kulturologiya.ru are also already familiar.
