About The Artwork
Saraha, only a few generations after Buddha is said to be the founder of Tantra. Saraha was a learned Brahmin. High nobility, the King wanted him as his son-in-law. However, he left for a Buddhist monastery, where soon he became famous as a meditator: A man of silence and wisdom. But then one day he left and found his true Master. He met Her in the marketplace, an ordinary woman: The Arrowsmith Woman. She saw him carrying scrolls and books and she laughed. She closed one eye and looked along the arrow she just finished. So total, so vital, so absorbed. It is said, that Saraha dropped his scrolls; In a flash, he understood what the Buddha means: Being in the middle - left and right not existing - And how totality leaves no trace: A clean slate, no Karma. He fell on his knees to this beautiful young woman. Together they lived a life of celebration. Tantra. Equality of women and men. By and by the whole country joined them In their bliss and celebration and peace. Finally even the King left his palace to join them. My bronze "Arrowsmith Woman" has a traditional Zen Kyodo bow. Important: the sculpture including the bow is about 9 feet tall. the bow and the arrow will be dismantled before shipping.

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, but was born in Amsterdam and studied architecture in Delft. Most of my life I worked as an architect and builder, while sculpture was my hobby. About 20 years ago I stopped working as an architect when I started to sell sculpture. While I see my architecture as very sculpturesque, it was certainly abstract; My sculpture however brought me back to the human figure. I am intrigued about how to express the ephemeral, the fleeting and transitory in the permanent, lasting medium of bronze: the timeless bronze represents to me the never changing moment we live in, the Power of Now: Always experienced in different ways, fresh again and again. The human form is my greatest inspiration, certainly its unspeakable beauty, but very much also, its ability to change and to show the processes of transformation. I love playing with our ability to consciously or subconsciously read all these expressions. I work mostly from life models, however I am not concerned about the anatomical correctness. My concern is the expression, the feelings generated by the work.
