Sientje danst

THE ARTWORK

Sientje danst is an intimate bronze sculpture that, despite its modest height of 20 cm, carries a strong presence. The slender vertical line of the figure is enhanced by the 110 cm pedestal with its bluestone base. This elevation creates a natural sense of lift: the dancing form appears to float gently in the light.

The composition is carefully balanced. The slightly curved posture, refined arms and restrained movement suggest a moment of concentration — not exuberant, but inward and serene. The bronze captures the light softly; delicate reflections emphasize the curves and give the work a vivid sense of depth.

The combination of bronze and bluestone creates a dialogue between warmth and solidity. The grounded, earthy character of the base provides calm and foundation, while the sculpture itself radiates lightness and elegance. Together they form a harmonious whole that feels both powerful and refined.

THE ARTIST

Jacky Stappers is known for her expressive, carefully crafted bronze sculptures. In her work, she explores human emotion, posture and stillness. Her technique is defined by meticulous modelling in wax or clay, followed by a traditional bronze casting process.

What distinguishes her work is the balance between movement and rest. With minimal means, Stappers achieves a strong visual presence. Every detail — from the flow of the lines to the surface finish — contributes to the character of the sculpture. Her works are recognisable for their refined silhouettes and quiet emotional depth.

INTERIOR ADVICE BY DECORATION

Sientje danst reveals its beauty beautifully within interiors featuring soft, natural tones such as Namibian Sand, in its warm earthy nuance that deepens the bronze. Against a backdrop of Montmartre Grey, with its calm and elegant character, the sculpture acquires a serene presence.

For a more pronounced yet harmonious setting, the work may be placed within an interior enveloped in Venetian Green, where the warm bronze subtly contrasts with the rich, refined green tone. Thanks to its slender pedestal, the sculpture adapts effortlessly to modern, classical or eclectic interiors — placed freely in a hallway, near a window, or as a quiet focal point in a sitting area.

The work integrates naturally into its surroundings, bringing balance and refinement to the space.
