Transition becomes Creation
Sustainable commissioned art
RECYCLE YOUR DARLING
On commission for organisations and companies
Give me your beloved leftovers
and I will transform them into a new work of art
Art in commission from your own residual materials
Transformation is the magic word
Recycle Your Darling is a new venture by Studio Gea Zwart, exclusively offering sustainable commissioned art.
I create customised contemporary artworks for organisations and companies using their own residual materials.
Launched in early 2025, it is a logical continuation of the series of free artworks. Sparkling wall sculptures, RecycledArt, which I have been working on since 2019.
Autonomous artworks, view them here to get an impression.
Transformation
I transform your remains into art
I transform your emotions into art
Art transforms you
As an organisation, do you want to be conscious of your leftover materials? Recycle Your Darling turns them into beautiful pieces of art on commission. If required, supplemented with other recycled materials from my stock, it returns as new modern art.
3 times Circular
Reuse. Better for the environment.
Transition becomes creation. It is temporarily out of the business, it returns in other form.
Your vision of sustainability. Express it via art. For everyone to see; customers, visitors and employees.
Designing with more goals
The theme
Another essential part of the artwork is its content. What should it tell?
Think of the mission, a marker, a point in time, the view of the company, imagining what you do, you name it. It can be light and also heavy. Art has many manifestations after all.
Transform emotions
On commission, I also make monuments to give a place to emotions, from joy to sorrow. This can also be done beautifully with recycled materials.
Art makes environments human
It stimulates the mind and increases feelings of happiness. Research shows, people are positively affected with art around them.
Appearance
The artworks may consist of (wall) sculptures of all sizes from all kinds of materials.
(I currently reuse leftover plexiglass and aluminium from companies in the architecture and design sector).
I work with multiple layers and transparencies. Materials are manipulated, with painting and assemblage. Light plays a role. Once the sun or other light source shines on it, beautiful shadow effects and extra dimensions are created.
The name, in short
The recycle variant on the term ‘Kill your darling’. To get to a high level in a creation, a good part must give way, if that takes the total to a higher level.
In this case, it’s about recycling cherished (residual) materials for a higher purpose, a new work of art.
Read below how I myself created my first “Recycle Your Darling”. The direct origin of the name.
From transition to creation
A sustainable art application,
made from your own residual materials.
