About the artwork
Artwork sold in perfect condition
The second child in a family with four children, born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 1953.
During Waldorf education in elementary and high school I have been encouraged in the artistic subjects, especially in sculpturing.
From this interest grew a long road of searching and experimenting, which happened for many years in my spare time.
Since 1991 I am occupied full - time as a sculpting artist.
Eventually, wooden sculptures evolved, which were symbolic of a inner emotional world.
As a result of back related issues, I switched to moulding my sculptures in wax only. After a long search I found my present - day shape world, which is also based on my emotions.
My ideal is to act in supreme concentration and silence, to create the form that fits like a glove with the emotion, that caused the form.
Emotions, which I cannot express in words - but I show them by giving them a shape. As a choreographer, I compose the sound of my emotions into a shape. A shape world which I can feel all around me , like a movement from a silk scarf trailing a dancer.
Because I want to show the shape of the emotion, I remove myself from the emotion which results in a hollow centre in the bronze sculpture, which in turn is covered with a contrasting patina.
Besides several galleries in the Netherlands, where I exhibit my work on a regular basis, I have also had exhibits in Germany, Belgium and Great Britain. My work has found a home with a lot of private art collectors, companies, institutions, museums and municipalities.
