Artist Comment

The poetic inspiration underneath is completely in scripted all over the sculpture in the Dutch, English, Chinese, Arabic and Russian languages. The ship of hope The ship of hope is built with beautiful words. Solidly joined with love. Her rigging is made of good fortune and mutual Faith. Equipped with anchors of friendship and understanding. Honesty is her compass. Floating, sailing, tramping we go, on the wings of inspiration. Our destination utterly unknown. Our course set by fate, aided by intuition and rationality. Travelling together on stamina. Dreaming between moon and stars. Forever the holds are filled, with the souvenirs of life. Text: Hans Grootswagers.

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
