Présentation

Thomas Dambo is considered the world's first recycling artist. From his earliest childhood, he was having been made aware of the value of recycling, sustainability and limitless imagination. 
The artist initially led a multi-faceted life, expressing his creativity through music, street art and set design. After completing a Master's degree in Interactive Design at the Kolding School of Design, Thomas began his current career using recycled materials to create colorful art installations, laying the foundations for his current artistic work.
Thomas' high level of creativity leads to the creation of highly interactive experiences, allowing users to express their individuality on a larger scale. From gardens made from recycled plastics to a Christmas market cobbled together from commercial waste, Thomas creates immersive, interactive and awe-inspiring experiences. 
As part of his project "The Trail of A Thousand Trolls", Thomas is now famous for his larger-than-life troll sculptures, all made from recycled wood. More than 100 creatures, scattered around the world, now trace their own lives.
The artist never stop create works of art that invite people to explore, to have adventures in nature, and demonstrates with them that waste can be transformed into something beautiful.

Présentation de l'oeuvre

At the heart of the forest emerges a lasting work of simple beauty that is deeply connected to nature. Using wood as his main material, most of which comes from recycled sources, Thomas Dambo brings to life beings who embody the silent guardians of the forest.

Crafted with artisanal precision, the work tells us a story of regeneration and preservation, drawing inspiration from local stories and legends, and evoking mystical narratives that resonate through the trees.

For its realisation, the Danish artist is opening his doors to public participation that will delight nature and DIY enthusiasts alike, with the aim of creating a shared experience and a collective legacy within the Roumare forest.

A permanent work in which we all become guardians of the connection between imagination, local history and the preservation of our natural environment.
