Dagmar was born & most of her childhood spent in Czechoslovakia ( now Czech Republic )

Dagmar Maini is a professional woodwork & marquetry artist in Brisbane.  The local artist combines her marquetry with woodcarving, engraving and colours. 

Marquetry is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns and designs.

Wood veneers have been used in furniture making for over 200 years and are most often associated with European luxury and privilege.

 I love materials and design that are not traditionally associated with mass production and standards of perfection. Each piece is a reminder of the close relationship that exists between us and Mother Earth.

“….There is invisible raw energy locked inside every wooden handmade piece.  I let the grain of the wood lead and inspire me. Nature is something I enjoy contemplating in the real.

 Dagmar Maini wooden wall art is all hand crafted.  All Dagmar Maini  sculptural wooden wall hangings are intense.  Intense with design, detail, materials and inspiration.
