The rebirth of Venus
Let’s just say that this artpiece was not easy to make. Inspired by Botticelli’s “The birth of Venus” we tried to reproduce the painting using tin cans. It took us almost a year to collect the necessary trash art materials. Another year was needed to turn the cans carefully into small square tiles and glue them together in order to create an alternative large scale mosaic. Our very own tin Venus.
A bottle cap starry night
The idea was to reproduce Van Gogh's "starry night" using bottle caps. More than 2500 caps along with great amounts of patience were used to recreate the famous painting. Next time you are about to throw away your caps think twice...

Our school visit to Milan inspired the next creation. We stayed at the Eco-Hotel La Residenza, which is famous for its innovative and eco-friendly design. Plain trash can result into a perfect piece of art when it is mixed with imagination…
