Provenance: Private collection Dimensions: approx. 47 x 24 x 20 cm Good condition, well-maintained Early in his career, Eijberg created large ceramic panels for public and private buildings. He quickly moved away from strict realism. His sculptures began to simplify the lines of the human body (often female) and the animal world (particularly birds). Volume became more important than detail. Eijberg diversified his media to explore new textures. He worked meticulously with bronze, as well as carving directly into Carrara marble and dense woods such as Pyrenean boxwood. His style reaches its full maturity. His works take on curved, fluid, and gentle forms that evoke natural elements (waves, wind, feminine silhouettes) on the cusp of abstraction. Their polished surfaces invite touch. He has made his mark in public spaces through major commissions in Belgium, where his massive bronze sculptures blend harmoniously into urban and university landscapes (such as on the UCLouvain campus).
