My name is Martin Øbakke, and I live in Copenhagen Denmark. After studying art in Florence, I started making dolls and worked for many years as an artist & illustrator in Nashville, Tennessee. I taught myself to sculpt and work with copper, clay & silk. Skills I developed as a doll maker. I find my inspiration in nature, imagination, spirituality and the points in between. The thin, gossamer strands that connect everything. I like exploring mythological archetypes that speak to my subconscious. These resonate with the unseen and unknown within me. They have power and identity, weaving stories around me that support my beliefs related to creation, transformation and resurrection. A natural fairytale that is happening around me right now
