Artist: ReCaps Art - By Mike Valle | Location: Jamestown, NC
Jamestown, NC
I've experimented with a variety of different mediums since childhood, from drawing to painting, glass blowing to stained glass, as well as woodworking and furniture building. My art is a reflection of myself: learning, growing, constantly evolving. The idea of mosaic work came to me after years of saving bottle caps and seeing the seemingly infinite range of colors available. For me, creating mosaics is dually fulfilling, as it allows me to both design and physically build a work of art.
Through my work, I aim to give new life to everyday items generally discarded as waste. Combining many pieces of ìtrashî to create something new, beautiful and hopefully recognizable. Focusing my work on portraits of iconic figures throughout history, I strive to get people to look at a classic art form with an uncommon medium, mixed with a bit of a Pop Art. Through my work, I'm hopeful it will inspire people to see everyday materials and the environment around them differently.
