Eja Siepman van den Berg
I have always felt passionate about the age-old vocabulary of sculpture. But the true essence of my work lies in it's abstract qualities, in a well-considered and subdued idiom.

Eja Siepman van den Berg (1943, the Netherlands) seeks for a clarity in form, omitting the mere decorative and superfluos. What remains, is sculpture devoid of 'meaning' in the traditional sense of the word. Her sculpture is free of anecdotes and personal histories, and cautiously refrains from the highly-individual. Instead, her torso's and head- and armless figures convey a universal an timeless beauty. Beauty in standstill: a well-considered and reasoned "figurative abstraction".
