Name:           Ber Stekelenburg

Education:     Photography and 2 years sculpture Rotterdam

Started of in photography,   Currently I paint and make sculptures in wood, stone and steel.

Drawing and designing have always been an important part of my life.

 

Admiration for the impressionists like Monet en inspired by the visits in the workshop of my uncle Jan Stekelenburg (1922-1977)

There must have been some influence, but y always try to go my own way.

In my steel sculptures y link the industrial-revolution design to the human seize, and make emotion as well as ratio to an issue.

Inspiration y find in the daily information flow by the media and in my direct surroundings, especially the way people react to each other and their environment.

Not the "how it is made" but "does it express the idea" is important to me, and allows a great variety in techniques and materials, which do share the surge for minimized shapes with the highest expression.

My work is mend to invite to finish the imagination your self’s.

Giving Shape to abstractions.  Painting the emotion of the happening.  The story of the materials.  Abstract, impressionistic, minimalistic.
