Rijkel Dijkstraartist • sculptorAlphen aan den Rijn 1941

The oeuvre of sculptor Rijkel Dijkstra shows a varied theme. She is inspired by people and animals, but she also creates abstract works. In a figurative, somewhat stylized style that characterizes her bronze animal and human sculptures, she knows how to express what touched her in the subject, guided by a sharp eye and a lot of feeling. Whether it concerns the typical attitude of an animal, or the emotion or silent presence of a human being. Connection is a theme that is expressed in both her figurative and abstract images. Rijkel Dijkstra makes small plastics as well as sculptures for outdoor spaces.
