From her studio in San Sebastian in the Basque country, Daniela Garreton crafts pencil, ink and acrylic into playful celebrations of the aquatic life.

The Chilean-born artist has been in love with the ocean since she was a child, moving to San Sebastian to work full time as an artist and gain inspiration from the city’s seafaring culture.

In her work, she is constantly blending techniques and working on different materials from paper to alaia surfboards, to give extra depth and texture. Along the way, Daniela humanises her creations – think walruses with sailor hats, fish in suits and seagulls with eyepatches – to encourage people to give empathy and respect to all creatures of the sea.

The Working Artisans’ Club is presented by Huck and O’Neill.

The Working Artisans’ Club 2014 group show and workshops kick off in Munich, 16-19 October. Find out more here.
