Artist Profile
Dmitry Bragin is a Ukrainian artist who specializes in making steampunk masks that make the wearer look more like a machine than a human.
While most of Dmitry Bragin's stunning masks aren't technically steampunk because they don't contain moving parts, it's clear that the sci-fi genre is their primary source of inspiration. The talented artist started with a thin plastic mask that was easy to shape as his base and added various decorative elements to it in order to transform it into what he wanted to see.

Art Appreciation
Filled with incredible detail, these masks are the result of Bragin Bragin's vision and creative thinking. When he started creating a piece, he used a plastic material that was easy to cut and reshape as his base. He then added decorative elements; for example, materials he bought in second-hand deals to complete the entire design. Sometimes, these elements come from something you didn't expect — like a motorcycle in a children's toy.
While Bragin's work looks like it was cast in bronze or other metal, it's an illusion. This is the work of acrylic pigments, which are layered and brushed to add an illusion of weight and age to them. This chosen material actually makes the mask lighter and easier to wear, allowing the wearer to incorporate retro futuristic characters anytime, anywhere.
