Vincent Lenys

France • 1986

As the son of a toy collector, he recycles forgotten toys into unique sculptures and collage artworks, giving discarded objects a creative and sustainable second life.

Biography

Born in 1986, Vincent is a French artist from Colmar. Son of a flower-maker mother who left at a young age, he first wanted to continue her passion for flowers and develop his artistic creativity. In parallel, as the son of a toy-collecting father, he grew up surrounded by a multitude of little creatures that fired his imagination. 
With this project and in an ecological spirit of recycling, he wants to give a 2nd life to all these little wonders, which remind us so much of our childhood, and which are most of the time neglected in the bottom of a drawer or thrown away. He then came up with these artworks, themed around characters from books or animated films, colors and symbols. Vincent spends 30 to 40 hours working on each of his artworks.
