This sculpture is inspired on the Italian painter Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964). He specialized in still lifes, which radiate great tranquility. Morandi opts for simple subjects and leaves out the unnecessary. The painted objects are hardly recognizable, everything is a bit crooked and messy. It is about the order of things and the combination of forms. In 2015 I made my first 'Ode to Morandi'. While working on this sculpture, I attended a series of lectures on Japanese art and architecture. It also discussed the tea ceremony from the Edo period (17th century). I recognized many of the elements that also apply to this work: formed partly by coincidence, unpolished, the aesthetic of the imperfect. This sculpture is made of 4 different kind of stones: travertine, serpentine, öland and limestone

My sculptures are clear and abstract. They are created intuitively, by combining shapes and materials. While working I search 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 try 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. Background: After years of working with all kind of materials, in 1994 I discovered stone sculpting. From that moment my choice was made. With the start of my company ‘Werk in Steen’ in 2005, I wanted to further professionalize my working as a sculptor and create a place to convey my love for the profession. Since 2007 I organize classes stone sculpting in my studio in Utrecht city. And also summer courses on locations in The Netherlands, Germany and France. In 2019 I celebrated my 25 years of stone sculpting and the many years of teaching. Regularly I take part in exhibitions. You can find an overview on my website.
