Sculptures 5
We have received some pictures from a very close friend of Reinaldo's. We are very pleased to be able to share this with you.
Words from his friend: Reinaldo has taught me a lot - spiritually, philosophically and creatively. We had a happy time when the physical mail at Polunsky allowed us to exchange artwork and materials. In those days, my favourite thing to do was to fill a big envelope with sheets of colored and textured paper as well as pictures and postcards and my own scribbles. He would use it all in the most incredible ways in both paintings and sculptures which these pictures can never do justice to. We used to collaborate on things - Reinaldo would incorporate my scribbles into his work in ingenious ways. I remember Reinaldo saying my envelopes were like Christmas but his to me were the same and more. He did paintings and sculptures of everything I love - my family, animals, fairies, spirituality and fashion. Once, he copied an avante card I sent him of a still life by an Australian painter which he recreated in her memory.
When I visited him, he had crafted me the most intricate, incredible Tiffany lamp. I took a photo of it and posted it on Facebook. I didn't say it was a Tiffany lamp but Facebook recognised it as such and suddenly my social media was flooded with advertisements for Tiffany! Isn’t she wonderful?
