Myriam EYKENS has shown extensively in Europe since studying sculpture at the Fine Arts Academy of Ghent in Belgium. She has been based in Flanders since then.

Her delicate curved lines give her work a relaxed atmosphere and sense of comfort. Her terra cotta figures evoke feminine grace and the small simple pleasures of daily life. Currently she is concentrating on a series of female figures made of terra cotta delicately colored with natural pigments and bronze, with a fair skin texture.

EYKEN's figures have peaceful and somehow extraordinary expressions, depicted in their graceful postures and their mellow, curvaceous bodies. The airy texture of the terra cotta and the smooth surface of the bronze give them a timeless and serene appearance. The Belgian art critic Stephane Rey wrote that Eykens was an artist who had a rare and exquisite expression suffused with a calm and soft aura, as well as a dignified graciousness, marking her work "blissfully free" from current fashions in art.

Edward Montgomery Fine Art is honored to have the distinction of being the exclusive US representative for this uniquely talented artist.
