sculptures 2010
To create these sculptures, I find my inspiration in nature: plants, animals, de human body. I knead the impression they leave in my unconsiousness into soft, organic-abstract and female - round shapes. The material I use is marl, some kind of very soft limestone digged up from the marlcaves in Valkenburg, Holland.dated 2010 until 2010, comment to the artist (click on an image to enlarge an artwork)

Come closer to me
2010This sculpture, wich is constructed out of two, to each other reaching shapes, represents the loving protection and accompaniment of a parent for his/her growing child. Just a fast hug before plunging again in the wild river called live.

Birth
2010Symmetric, abstracted, lying torso. You may ask yourself wether it is the front or the back of the torso. But the whole invites you as if it is a warm and soft bed. The navel, the centre of the sculpture, is reproduced by a little flint, and is in contrast with the soft and smooth marlstone. This accent on the navel remainds us that we are all allied with each other by our mothers.
