When I was turning over an old leather knife sheath in my hands I came up with the idea to use it as the part for some insect and I was not mistaken. As soon as I joined everything I got a perfect dragonfly. I had to make something myself, for example, wings. I have made them of a brass tin, curved eyes of a stainless steel grid, framing them into rims curved out of a brass tin. That is a metal dragonfly from future. I have hammered number combinations in the background of the picture. It is like a coded text dedicated to think about.

The main details:

The body of a dragonfly is made of an old leather knife sheath, the parts of clock mechanism and trumpet tubes;
A head is a copper cup to immerse flowers;
Wings is my fulfillment out of a brass tin;
Mustache has been made of a copper wire.

Artūras Tamašauskas is a "Steampunk" Lithuanian sculptor. His sculptures are exceptional, each unique and distinctive. Tamašauskas describes his sculptures as concrete, clear and at the same time asking them to look for what is invisible to the eye and to think about them. They are like living interior elements.

Tamašauskas is using the most diverse materials for work starting from wares, antiquarians and ending with rubbish that is useless. He is transforming an item that was thrown and useless, giving it the opportunity to exist in a new shape, in a new form, new existence in artistic expression. Steampunk style lovers from Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, USA and Australia have some of his works in their private collections.

Artūras Tamašauskas was born in 1963, in Lithuania, and he has exhibited his works all across the country.

The Artist was highlighted in an article in Artmajeur Magazine:
