SUSTAINABLE ART FROM YOUR OWN REMNANTS

RECYCLE YOUR DARLING
For organizations and companies

Give me your beloved leftover materials
and I will transform them into a new circular work of art

Transformation is the magic word
Recycle Your Darling stands for sustainable, circular commissioned art. It originated as a follow-up to my independent recycleart artworks, a series of wall sculptures I have been working on since 2019.

I transform your remains into art
I transform your emotions into art
Art transforms you

Does your organisation want to manage its residual materials in a conscious manner? Recycle Your Darling turns them into something beautiful. Sometimes supplemented with materials from my own stock, they are transformed into something new.

Reuse. Better for the environment.
Transition becomes creation. The materials leave the company temporarily and return as art.
Your vision on sustainability. Make it visible to customers, visitors and employees.


The works consist of wall sculptures in a variety of sizes and materials.
(At the moment, I work with plexiglass and aluminium sourced from the architecture and design sectors).

I work with multiple layers and transparencies. The materials are crafted using painting and assemblage techniques. Light plays a key role in this process. As soon as sunlight or another light source falls on the work, beautiful shadow effects and additional dimensions emerge.

The theme
An essential part of the artwork is its content. What should it express?
Think of a mission, a symbol, a moment in time, a vision or an interpretation of what you do. Light or heavy, playful or complex; after all, art takes many forms.

Art makes environments more human
It stimulates the mind and boosts feelings of happiness. Research shows that art has a positive influence on people and their surroundings.

Transform emotions
In opdracht maak ik ook monumenten om emoties een plaats te geven, van vreugde tot verdriet. Ook daarvoor lenen hergebruikte materialen zich goed.


The name, brief explanation
A circular version of the concept ‘Kill your darling’. To achieve a stronger whole, a valuable element sometimes has to be sacrificed.
In this case, it involves recycling beloved (residual) materials for a higher purpose: a new work of art.
Read below to find out how I recycled my own ‘Darling’; the direct inspiration for this name.

A sustainable commissioned artwork made from your own leftover materials.
