“Symphonia”: 5 Charming Sculptures Made Of Recycled Materials Shaped By Ana Brecevic

Ana Brecevic is a Franco-Croatian plastic artist and paper designer. Her work often centres on living forms, reflecting her deep concern about the loss of biodiversity she has witnessed in her two homelands.

Brecevic’s most recent project, Symphonia, is a limited series of kinetic artworks. Each piece is crafted from recycled, hand-dyed, or upcycled materials. The wooden bases are manually shaped by Brecevic from discarded scraps sourced from a carpentry workshop. Using vegetable ink and recycled materials, and embracing the charming natural irregularities of the wood, she has created a capsule series of five captivating sculptures in motion.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
