Original artwork description:
For this sculpture I was inspired by old temple complexes, with see throughs, stairs, corners and crumbling walls. Think of buildings of the ancient Egyptians or, for example, the Incas.
The material I used is also related to an old monument. The travertine comes from the plinth of the monument to Joannes Zwijssen (1794-1877), a Roman Catholic clergyman and later bishop, made by sculptor Toon Dupuis (1933). It once stood in Tilburg. The Latin title of this sculpture is a reference to the language of the Catholic Church.
This sculpture is also suitable for the outdoor space, although the inlaid copper will change due to the influence of the weather.
Materials used:
Travertine and copper

About
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,... Read more
