Art and transformation. Sparkling wall sculptures made from residual materials

since 2019

Visual artist Gea Zwart, who studied at the Minerva Academy in Groningen (graduating in 1992) and is based in Amsterdam, creates sustainable wall sculptures from residual materials from the world of architecture and design. For several years now, she has been participating in the national “Artist of the Year” competition. She ranked 21^st and 101^st in the top 100 and has been nominated five times.

Since 2019, she has been working primarily with recycled plexiglass and, more recently, with aluminium honeycomb. Her series Into the Unknown is an ode to transformation, movement and change. Her work is experimental, adventurous and poetic. It is a visual journey through life, in which nature serves as a metaphor. Cycles of growth, blossoming and decay recur in her visual language and use of materials. She incorporates fragments of earlier artworks, wood and other found elements, making her sculptures reminiscent of stained glass, but layered and without lead.

Circularity is central to her approach. Gea collaborates with companies to transform residual materials into modern art. She also creates commissioned artworks from beloved residual materials under the name Recycle Your Darling, a sustainable form of expression full of meaning.

Her mission is to create art that touches and connects with your emotions. Her work is multi-layered and invites wonder and reflection. Art as a mirror, for people and organisations with a green and warm heart.
