Through discarded material, Selva Huygens creates functional art by refining these rough and abrasive materials into objects of striking beauty whilst leaving the crudeness of the material visible and present.

Selva Huygens is an Argentinian artist. Influenced by his studies in Architecture, Industrial Design & Fine arts with an interest in the fashion scene. As well as his brief moment in Copenhagen developing his work, he is now settle down in his studio at Rummelsburg, East Berlin.

“FIRST & PROBABLY ONLY COMMANDMENT OF LIFE”. The artist uses and expands both passion and pain as the energy impulses of creation, which in his opinion are the engine of every human being. Through them people can become big or small, can laugh and cry, can make and destroy in matter of seconds. Through discarded material he creates functional art. Tender yet caustic paintings, imposing brutalist furniture and lighting. Selva refines these rough and abrasive materials into objects of striking beauty whilst leaving the crudeness of the material visible and present.
