Wilfert Verweij
Started his career creating spectacular gardens with balanced shapes, colors and materials fitting perfectly in the natural living environment.
At the age of 33, Wilfert moved to Florida where he combined his gardening design with creating art. As an artistic constructor, he designed sculptures for private gardens and public municipality places. He worked with various (natural) materials, such as Italian glass, natural stones, and concrete.
After 12 years he moved back to the Netherlands where he continued his Art. He started to add epoxy to the several materials he uses for his sculptures and designs. Wilfert developed a new mixing technique by which he could combine epoxy with specific materials for his hanging art, tables, bowls and sculptures.
By developing his techniques over the years, a new art form emerged which he named Epoxionism.
Several periods followed which gave Wilfert inspiration, such as The Universe, The Flower Period, Ode to the Grand Masters, Elements, Life Moments, and Energies of life.
The natural shapes of the female body, the attractive force and personal stories of women inspired him to create female body sculptures. His so-called Killerbodies, all have their own story and are created using a new mixing technique with epoxy, recycled material, and a mixed media of other materials like gold leaf.
