Tina K's Art of Recycling

A visual arts approach

Vita

Born in Salzburg in 1944, she lived five years in Paris, one year in Tokio, and since 1975 has spent most of her time in Ibiza with occasional stays in Berlin.In the nineties she began to experiment with collage and developed her concept of „the Art of Recycling“: Collages in relief forming mosaics of found pieces, just as man and nature put them at her disposal.

Her dependence on found materials inspires a nonlinear process of creation, whose outcome remains unforseeable till the very last. Her selection of materials comprises mainly broken glass, ceramics, mother of pearl, wood, and synthetic materials, interspersed with precious gems or bizarre figurines which acquire a new and often ironic meaning in the different context.
