Mirjam de Nijs Artworks for Sale

Concept

Nature in it's purity, that's what fascinates me. I love the volume, the movement, the texture and the natural quality of stone. In stone of all different kinds, I find unlimited possibilities to express my meanings. I prefer abstract language. My ultimate goal is a sculpture. It has an immense expression with a great sense of freedom. With their strong and subtle presence, abstract sculptures are a surprising element in a realistic environment. A sublimized accent in a concrete world of tables, chairs, vases and living creatures. For more than 35 years I am making sculptures of natural stone. I have studied Dutch laguage and literature, combined with art history and aesthetics. I love the freedom of investigation, the sculptures are the result of characterful research and endless experimentation. When I experience that the sculpture fits in a big trail of authentic forms, loose of history, culture and background, I am satisfied. Happy and free for my next endeavour.

For more than 35 years I am fascinated by making sculptures in natural stone. I live in the center of Amsterdam and work in a studio on an island on the outskirts of the city.

Sculpting in natural stone gives me the freedom of creative expression without the boundaries of meaning. The meaning lies within every sculpture. Sculpting is a language of its own that exists beyond the visible reality and reaches further than our understanding. Most important sources of inspiration are nature, ancient traces and human existence and interactions in general.

A nice sculpture has an immense expression with a great sense of freedom.

The fascinating result of the process of creation: sculptures placed in the surrounding of the world’s reality. Once placed in its surrounding, a sculpture adds space and it offers a view into a different dimension.

My sculptures form a beautiful accent in various inspiring environments all over the world. There is a lot more adventure to find in available work.
