Surface Designer with Texture
ABOUT AMARTI
Amarti creates and produces bespoke fine art, art prints, and patterns for surface design with a unique aesthetic. She is in search of a visual and tactile sensory experience, giving color the main role and experimenting with unusual art materials like plasticine and sand. Amarti looks to overcome washed-out digital design by creating a unique rich textured graphic language.
Her background and knowledge come from 10 years of experience working as an architect. Amarti is constantly thinking about the space and how her designs can enrich any decorative scheme. This is why she wants to work closely and directly with interior decorators and provide a customizable and flexible art service. If the designer needs Amarti’s designs in a particular colour or size, Amarti is ready to help and provide the best possible option.
PLASTICINE ART & SAND ART
Using only coloured moulding clay, (plasticine) on transparent acrylic, Amarti is able to recreate textures, such as feathers and flower petals. She skilfully creates beautiful artworks that explore rhythm and colour and then digitally modifies them to create an array of patterns and prints, in a way never seen before.
Amarti’s plasticine art is like a mixture of painting and sculpting, but not exactly either. The use of modelling clay rather than paint provides boundaries and shadows, alluding to movement with smooth, definitive grace. By painting with modelling clay, Amarti is engaging in a simple and unique way to construct images.
Sand art is also a beautiful way of imprinting colour and shapes, giving a velvety finish to a painting. It looks like pointillism but more subtle and delicate, and it adds some multidimensional elegant finish. There is something calming and sensual about painting with sand that remain in the paintings and patterns themselves. Sand art provides another visual texture that evoke a tactile nostalgia.
