Sacha Heemels – Trash Poetry

This is a technique I have never seen before,  it is called “trash poetry”.

Sacha Heemels, a Dutch artist, creates these beautiful works of art from old paintings she finds in flea markets or second hand shops.

Carefully, she revives these old oils on canvas into new pieces of art by using a laser technique to erase part of the old painting and meld in a new theme with new elements.

A very creative way to transform something old into something new.
