Famous Recycled Art – A Beautiful New Life

My art comes from things we’ve used and soon forgotten

by M. Cardinal

Lucy Slivinski, an artist, is focused on the commitment of creating work that glorifies rebirth through famous recycled art. She repurposes trash in what she refers to as used material art. “

My art comes from things we’ve used and soon forgotten. Furthermore, my belief is to renew the value of many things forgotten,” Chicago sculptor Lucy Slivinski remarked. “Turning them into fresh vistas of expression that hopefully invigorate one’s sensibilities.”

“I am and it is, what you see, but in a whole new way. Therefore, the work is about revitalization and metaphor,” Lucy Slivinski said of her famous recycled art. “My work reflects deep stories that travel the journey of a soul searcher and life weaver. My work is me. It is my homage in celebration of life. It is my salvation and my continual rebirth. I hope shares something of meaning to the viewer!”

An example of our everyday hero Lucy's recycled art.
