Huub Kortekaas
Edit ProfileEducation
Initially he chose the profession of teacher. At 30 he chose definitely to be an artist.
Career
At the age of 25 he made his first sculpture, a statue of Erasmus for the university at Nijmegen. As an artist he is self-taught. From then on they both worked closely together and form since 1999 an artists duo.
Since 2002 they have worked together on The Universal Spiritual Garden as an imagination of the five world religions, by which they find inspiration in the symbolism of numbers.
Kortekaas is known by these large projects but certainly also by many monumental statues in the Netherlands and in other countries, that often are realised in corten steel.
