I always enjoy getting emails from good new artists and this work by Damarak is pretty cool. She likes to call her work, prints inspired by staring off into space during church
After studying drawing in art "school", Damara Kaminecki picked up some wood carving tools and threw her charcoal away. 10 years later, her style has changed but her themes keep going back to her childhood daydreams.
"I was obsessed with Medieval illuminations and woodblock prints which tend to depict daily life, but most today aren't that relatable and our themes are not centered around religion, farming, and astronomy. I wanted to incorporate my own interests and humor in a style where you can see my hands at work" These relief prints were carved and printed by hand in her Chicago studio.
In addition to letting her creative juices out through print, she works as an illustrator and designer. She has done everything from a 2010 Dunny to window display at Barneys New York.
More prints are available in Damarak's shop
