Mariano Steiner is a young Brazilian CG Artist / Character Modeler from Sao Paulo, another one of my favorites. His main theme is anatomically correct human characters and creatures (though we won't be looking at the creatures he has made). Based on the works we'll be looking at, his inspiration comes from the Renaissance era of figurative art, I believe. The three works from him are: "Show Time" (June 2010); "Winter Sun" (December 2009); and "Aristeus" (June 2011). The art pieces mentioned above have a great sense of weight and volume in them - a skill which many novice artists lack of (myself included). His understanding of human anatomy is what really makes an impression on the viewer, and his presentation skills are top-notch as well. The figurative piece under the title of "Show Time" which is dedicated to the art of Richard McDonald, a traditional sculptor working mainly in clay and bronze, is tremendously dynamic and alive - the pose, the expression, the energy are all there. Lighting plays a major role in the works of Mariano Steiner - an ability learned through studying color theory, composition, shadowing, and through having a numberless amount of hours of practice. After all, practice makes perfect - there is no magic behind it. Again, the human form and the motion of the human body had to studied quite thoroughly to make such brilliant figurative works that awe the audience, especially myself, since I do know how hard it is to sculpt a human body that looks correct. The silhouettes are just outstanding and that feel of gravity is definitely present in his works. (word count - 268)
