Collection: Roland Art
ROLAND ART pop art artist, elixir of life, born in Utrecht. I spent my youth with many animals in Friesland, by the Sneekermeer lake. That's where my love for animals originated, and the desire to portray them in their own fantasy world. I often spent time at my neighbours' farm, which had a herd of 85 dairy cows. They still had cows with horns. And a very large group of stray cats, from kittens to very old.
During the period we lived in Denmark, a country where much, almost everything, is made of wood, my love for working with wood developed. I love wood. The basic scent of wood invigorates my creative brain. That scent is the engine. To have wood in my hands is my passion, and to create a cat from it, with all its round forms, fills my heart with joy. The cat with the bird is the image I will always continue to make. That is a ROLAND and for me, it represents love, freedom, happiness, harmony, tenderness, and peace. I sculpt in various types of wood and in the precious metal Bronze.
