Statement

As a sculptor creating digital and physical forms, I strive to take the viewer on a journey of truth-discovery by asking them to engage with various perspectives. Using custom-built technology, I create paths by connecting points in space. The curved and polyline paths that I compose are not arbitrary, rather, they are patterns derived from nature’s archetypes. The human attraction to symmetry extends deep into the unconscious realms of our minds. For 40 years, I have used technology both in my artistic explorations with my late mentor, Koos Verhoeff, and in my business to analyze patterns. I now use technology solely to discover the beauty that hides in the minuscule yet vast world of atomic lattices.

Additional info

Crafted from pink Portuguese marble, "Infinity" embodies the timeless interplay of symmetry and perspective. Its curvature, guided by specific FCC lattice points, echoes the infinite beauty residing within. Like the fleeting shadows in Plato's allegory, each viewpoint modestly reveals a glimpse of eternal truth.
