The artistic duo, Guerra de La Paz consisiting of artists Alain Guerra and Neraldo De La Paz have come up with an innovative method of recycling old clothes. Rather than throwing away old worn out clothes, Guerra and La Paz transform them into completely new pieces of art work.

The idea behind these creations is not simply aesthetics, each work represents a social issue or idea or tells a story. Using old clothes as raw material makes their art truly eclectic and eco friendly. Gierra de La Paz have helped to keep the fashion in clothing intact even after the clothes have turned into colourful pieces of art.

Much like the Patta Chitra tradition of West Bengal, where artists use paintings to convey a specific message to the audience, or to narrate an event/occurence, Guerra De La Paz does the same through their cloth sculptures, creating an unusual blend of fashion, art and culture.
