sculptures from recyled materials
HALINKA ART
01 about
My sculptures are created from materials that are discarded, mostly drinks cans.
​
The inspiration comes from the natural world, including insects and plants.
​
Each component is hand cut and every sculpture is unique
​
The art is displayed in 3d frames to emulate natural history specimen trays and each artwrork is labelled with text created with a vintage typewriter

04 the artist
I am Basia, the artist and maker behind Halinka-art, based near Windsor in the UK.
Designing, making and creating has always been important to me. I have worked with a diverse range of materials including paper, fabric, metals, concrete and glass amongst other mediums.
​
My recycled sculptures are inspired by nature and are a recent addition to my portfolio of work.
They marry up my love of design, manufacturing and creativity together with the importance of recycling our precious earths resources.
I particularly love using a discarded object that would other wise end up in landfill and giving it a new life as something to treasure.
