About WALDINEI LAFAIETE
the
Artist &
the
Work My artwork focuses on turning discarded items into
mixed media assemblages. I reuse and recycle everyday
found objects. Growing up in Brazil I had to learn how to
be resourceful at a young age. Nowadays my creative
urge makes me see these forsaken objects as an oppor-
tunity to repurpose, relove and reinterpret. When all the
salvaged items form a cohesive assemblage what often
emerges is a visual narrative which conveys a sacred
sense of rustic beauty.
My assemblage art often emulates many of the ancient
relics that I have seen in my world travels. I have always
been intrigued by ancient cultures and their art, particu-
larly iconic Buddhist representations because they in-
spire enlightenment, convey a sense of impermanence
and detachment from material things. I find the process
of creating harmony out of
chaos fascinating, especially when the new reality stim-
ulates the viewer’s imagination and raises awareness
about our delicate planet.
This new series that I have named “The Sacred Reman-
ifestation” reveals my artistic quest to discover a way to
bring old, damaged and discarded items together in a
way that tells a new story. In homage to new beginnings,
forgotten objects take a new artistic identity and a sacred
remanifestation.
