Rick Maijer

Rickskunst.nl was born from a passion for art and sustainability.

In a world that is becoming increasingly aware of the impact of waste, I decided to become a waste artist and take action by giving plastic waste a new life.

My goal is not only to show the beauty in recycled materials, but also to inspire and motivate people to deal with waste more consciously.

By creating art from materials that would otherwise end up in landfill, we contribute to a more sustainable planet.

Plastic caps, straws, pens, coffee cups, bottles, computer parts, printers, empty cartridges and other broken plastic parts.

Many items have been found on the street, but I also often receive waste through family, friends and donors.

For most people, these products are seen as waste and thrown away, but Ricks Kunst sees the beauty in this and transforms them into unique works of art.

As a waste artist, I am inspired by the shapes of plastic waste and ideas often coincide at a certain point.

The story then emerges automatically.

Because every project arises from my creative thoughts, every work of art is unique.

For me, building a project is an adventure from start to finish.

I also enjoy cleaning up the world in this way and making something beautiful out of it. In addition, it is also better for the environment.

To make people more aware of plastic recycling through art.
