The provocateur Daniel J. Martinez shall be my central to my research. Born in 1957,
he was brought up and schooled in LA, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts many
years back from CalArts. He is a multimedia artist best known for his infamous craving to
produce works full of evil humour. Daniel is a photographer and a major in animatronic
sculptures. He is not very famous in LA currently because of the rapidly changing world, but
his works are indisputably great, rising to the ranks in 1994, a year after his famous work
with the inscription “I’d never wish to be white”. It made him receive a world of resent,
something he seems to enjoy doing every day. He has won so many awards and his works are
found in many museums in California and Texas. (Metro, LA).
Art description
Daniel’s work falls under photography and animatronic sculptures. The latter is a
relatively new field, since many people have not heard about it before. With the most recent
developments, it is getting coined with science to be produce results. The field of robots use it
too, because everyone loves 3 D presentations which appear to be real than the often 2D on
print paper. (Mongeon 2015). More people ae drawn to the works, when the see a
resemblance of a robot somewhere.

Sculpture as fine art, is one of the oldest forms still existent. As time changes, and
technology advances and modifies almost every way we do our things, the art also changes
on how it is worked out. In the past, we have huge indelible commemorations of how the art
of sculptures was used to furnish classical antiquity. (Kirchberg & Martin 2015). We have
very old statures erected in halls of fame and even public places in remembrance of the lives
lived by the heroes and heroines. Renaissance art and religious art too made use sculptures as
fine art, more than a thousand years ago. Sculpture is made of the mass and space elements
chiefly, surface element being a variant. The objects are then moulded in proportion, scale,
balance, thorough articulation and a sense of harmony. Sculpture is the only form of fine art
which can be worked in 3D.
An Interview with Daniel (data collection).
Jayson Borne: yes, Mr Daniel, how are you?
Daniel Martinez: all is fine, how about you…
JB: good. I have come learn more about your artwork. What is it basically?
DM: I do animatronic sculptures with photography. The photos that I gather, I develop an
interest to produce them in 3D, sometimes in an exaggerated manner but very interesting.
JB: when did you start doing the fine art?
DM: mmmh, I started back in 1975, in a very small scale. From there on, I have been
improving this piece of work, and now I can say I’m somewhere.
JB: what pushes you into this art industry?
DM: when I was in CalArts taking my degree in fine arts, I often could attend theatres full of
absurd, cruel, sometimes panic settings. I could read the acted pain and shock and disturbance

they could create on people. It is when I opted to try it out, to tease around with people’s
mind through the pieces.
JB: what challenges did you meet as you set foot to your area of interest?
DM: First, I lacked good mentors. I would say I created myself in this field. It took too long
to make fine of the art in mine, almost to the point of giving up, but I’m glad I didn’t.
JB: how often to do practise it?
DM: daily. I have learned to develop an inseparable growing towards the art. It is a good
stuff.
JB: what can you advise someone who wants to be like you?
DM: it takes more than practice and hard work to be at the top. Creativity is perhaps the
greatest tool that will shape you to be the person you want, keep trying stuff, all day long,
continually.
Usage of the art
Sculpture, broadly, is for conservation purposes. Tracking the history of many
countries, especially the Greece, Rome, and middle East and Oriental countries, their
sculptures have been used immensely to store the very rich tradition and history dating back
as old as 2000 years. Even the works of today, are engraved by the use of the sculptures to
store societal heritage. In many cities, there are in the museums and public parks erected
statues which are meant to remind the public of the far those countries have made. (Fernie
2016). For religious sculptures, they are used for commemorating the goodness of the long
dead influential people who ever lived.
Human activists and freedom fighters have been recorded many times across the
globe erecting the sculptures to send their signal to the target group. Much is communicated

through these figures to the subconscious for an action to take place. There are many artists
who develop the forms of final art sculptures just for fun and to entertain viewers.
Comparisons
Sculpture in Africa from history was done using wood and soapstone. These materials
last for a short period, all that we have is a miniature of the whole picture. The areas best
known for the art work include Yorubaland in Nigeria- its works as old as dating 500AD are
available together with the Mande speakers, we have Sudan’s Kush region whose works are
more than 1500 years, and the South African soapstone works in Zimbabwe and South
Africa. The works illustrate attire, weapons, and the lifestyle of the Ancient Africans.
(Grandis 2015).
The oriental sculpture of China is one of the oldest in the history of time, and
increasingly becoming the finest, the most loved and most original. The works illustrate
Chinese religion, culture and lifestyle. The contemporary sculpture is catching up with the
ancient culture in authenticity through the efforts of the government, for posterity. (Lane
2016).
An African target group
Africa is a land full of art work of all manner. Some groups or communities are
known globally like the Yoruba, groups from Sudan and Egypt ad South Africa. There is
another thorough group found in the East Africa region called the Makonde group from
Tanzania. They are known in their excellence of carving masks, any household objects,
animals, human figure and others. Tourists who get a chance to visit East Africa easily access
their works in museums. The key styles directing the manner of carvings include the shetani
style (devil) which is an encapsulation of how the evil spirits could interact with people, the
mawingu and mandandosa styles. (Tervala 2016).

Conclusion
Art is the echo of human life, filming lifestyles of all-time coverage in just a simple
representation. Ranging from music, to photography, calligraphy to dancing, painting,
sculptures, art works are everywhere, in any society, of any timespan with motives of
communicating key information designed for. From time to time, the technologies for
producing these art works keep changing; and we expect many rapid changes in the near
future with the advent of computers which really jerk the standards to a very high level,
ensuring work is done, in a professional, consistent and complex way. The challenges we will
continue to face is the challenge of archiving every detail with precision. From the historical
evidences of the arts produced, there are so many gaps, whose is the wearing out of the
artefacts made by materials that cannot stand forces of nature for long.
