The idea was born turning over an old blow instrument part in my hands. I came up with the idea to make an octopus, however, with the functional purpose. I wanted it to be a sculpture and a box to keep jewelry. An octopus is a sea animal, therefore, I have used the colour blue not by mistake in some places rubbing it through to a brass. It provided additional charm. This time it is small, however, a funny resident of the depth of the sea ready to protect all of favourite and nice jewelry.

The main details:

A body is made of an old part (horn) of an old blow instrument, a pocket watch opening mechanism with the cover;
Tentacles are made of 6 mm aluminum 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:
