Eco-Artist Evelyn Reinprecht believes in finding the usefulness in what others discard. A spent light bulb, bubble wrap, or an interesting piece of tissue paper or magazine page become focal points on her work.
Evelyn produces 3-dimentional mixed-media miniature works. She uses corrugated cardboard, light bulbs, aluminum foil and pans, bubble wrap, straws, small stones, tissue paper, ribbon, wire, shoe boxes, and magazine pages, among other discarded materials, in her lively and colorful works.
Evelyn’s artistic style is somewhere int he spectrum of folk or primitive art and the naive school (naïf in Brazil). She has painted nudes and art nouveau motifs on glass, often mirrors, and worked with acrylics on canvas. She has used painted bodies as brushes, choreographing their movements on the canvas but her passion is working with recycled materials and in miniature.
She is a member of the Brazilian Artes Plasticas, or “beautiful arts” in Portuguese, an artistic movement that emphasizes the artist’s vision and manipulation of forms and images to invoke an aesthetic and poetic concept.
Evelyn donates a portion of her proceeds to assist children in Africa.
