About this artwork
This sculpture is created from two marble drill columns. The challenge for me lies in the limitation the material imposes: narrow and long. How can you still create space and movement and ensure coherence between the separate parts.
I chose a matte, chafed skin. I like that the drawing of the stone is slightly present, but not too clear. And the soft, matte skin gives a beautiful light-shadow effect; important in this sculpture with minimal movement.…
The two separate parts are on a wooden base, reinforced with a metal pin.

« My abstract sculptures are not explicitly seductive. They do not tell a story, but rather evoke an atmosphere or association. »
Fieke de Roij is an established Dutch sculptor who has exhibited her work nationally. Stone sculpture is her greatest love, and the stone itself her primary source of inspiration; she collects them from the street, stores and as gifts before transforming them into works of art. Her finished pieces appear at once clear and abstract, retaining visible traces of the artist's process to allow for her personal aesthetic signature to be directly communicated.
