Willem Waerts (1966, Willemstad, Curaçao)
Willem creates one of a kind sculptures and mixed media artworks by 'fixing' broken skulls and bones with metal and found and/or handmade objects into cyborg/robotic creatures (Mechanimals). This combines his love for nature and animals with his other passion, robots and science fiction, in a craft he calls "Techsidermy".
His works are notable for their life-like appearance and attention to detail and bear witness to great craftmanship.
Willem currently lives and works in Maarssen, the Netherlands.
