Meet the creator

Artist · NL

After years of working with all kind of materials, in 1994 I discovered stone sculpting. From that moment my choice was made. I get my inspiration from the material itself. I use all kinds of stone, which I continuously collect (found, received or bought). With the stone come the ideas. My sculptures are clear and abstract. They are created intuitively, by combining shapes and materials. While working I searche for simplicity, tension and balance. The traces of the manufacturing process remain visible, sometimes in the structure of the chisel stroke, but also in fractured surfaces or the finish of the surface. This gives the sculptures a personal signature. I tries to evoke an atmosphere or association and give room for individual interpretation. The form language I use is universally recognizable, and appreciated worldwide. You can find my sculptures in private collections in many countries.
