“I have been a passionate treasure hunter my whole life, inspired by found objects that others may consider garbage. The imagination and beyond the box thinking attracts me to this style of medium. I am a painter, singer, songwriter, but my first love it created art with other people’s trash. Protecting the environment from more garbage has always been a goal and if I can turn something around so these same people might buy their garbage back and put it on their wall, so much the better.”Cris Matos
