The Dutch sculptor Eja Siepman van den Berg, born in 1943, embarked on the development of her distinctive visual program during the early 1970s. Her representations of the human body, crafted in bronze and stone, serve as tangible evidence of her profound fascination with harmonious figuration and the principles of abstraction.
