Thanks for viewing my gallery. I am a self-trained artist specializing in the use of recycled materials for creating my 3D pieces. This includes plastic beverage containers, as well as other readily available household items, such as packaging & shipping materials (biodegradable and non-biodegradable).
I spend many hours of cutting, burning, molding and painting in trying to create the illusion of a realistic-looking piece of art. I have limited myself to purchasing only the paint and adhesives I need for my projects, not so much because I want to challenge myself artistically, but more because of the financial challenges I am going through at this stage in my new (but not necessarily young) life as an artist.
In hindsight, I am grateful for the artistic and life challenges that have come my way. Although I still have much to learn before I can say that I have mastered the right style and technique, at the very least, I can honestly say that I am happy about where I am and how far I have come as an artist. I feel that I have found my own unconventional style that is not only innovative and aesthetically pleasing but is also practical, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. I feel a deep sense of accomplishment in that I am now able to express myself artistically, as well as help the environment by converting what is basically considered trash into art.
Please feel free to refer/recommend my art to anyone who might be interested – I would highly appreciate it. To any prospective buyer, I strongly suggest and invite you view my work in person, in order to avoid any misrepresentation from the digital images and see my art pieces for what they really are.
Please e-mail me for any questions/comments at nelbertflores@gmail.com, or call me at (818) 921-9284 and leave your name and call back number. I will return your call as soon as possible. Thanks again.
