Studio Thijs Rijkers creates kinetic works on the intersection of engineering and art. Thijs’works are an expression of his fascination for the beauty of mechanical intricacies that often remain hidden from the human eye. His machines are a celebration and showcase of the man made mechanica, aimed not only to move material but also our soul.
True craftmanship is dying out, and nowadays everything is produced by computer-controlled processes. This method of production lacks a soul and the love, that you as a creator, invest in an object. By forming a connection with the material, it becomes an extension of you, and you establish a conscious or unconscious bond with it.
