In the work of the Limburg sculptor Jos Dirix, the main theme is nature, focusing on humans and animals. In doing so, he emphasizes the expression of what he depicts, such as the vitality of the foal, the ecstatic power of the female figure, captured in the movement. Characteristic is the special balance he brings to the shapes he creates, so that his bronzes seem to play balancing with gravity. Dirix was born near Roermond and studied at the Artibus Academy in Utrecht. He makes sculptures for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
