“……her work appeals to the imagination. Hester Pilz creates a world that can be recognised like an old folk tale, but feels alien at the same time because of the scale and stylization – the work of a modern artist.” Margriet Kemper, curator and publicist.

In my free artwork I seek contact with basic things. My Land Art and sculpture often deal with the concept of “feeling connected with the earth on which you live.” I see my art as a vehicle for the soul. I am always looking for ways to connect my inside world with the outside world, working with different materials. Clay, wood, iron, natural materials, sometimes even the earth itself. I find poetry in nature and its processes, and in the rituals that people develop to live with nature – those are the sources of my inspiration. That is why I am interested in modern and traditional life in agricultural societies: life in accordance with the rhythm of the plant, or in some cases, against it.

My sculpture work in commission is often architectural in character. I like to design simple places to sit and talk together, places to feel comfortable.

Being a dedicated teacher, I also enjoy doing Community Art. In one of my projects, the “GreenDoPavilion”, a playful do-it-yourself sculpture with natural materials, I have worked with many city- children in Europe: ( London, Amsterdam and Antwerp)..
