I went to Hamburg to see the river.
 The landscape far and wide under the white, bright light of the north.
 There I saw the Elbe pass lazily through endless lowlands.
 The lead gray sky low on the flat silver river.

I went to Hamburg to see the river.
 The landscape far and wide under the white, bright light of the north.
 There I saw the Elbe pass lazily through endless lowlands.
 The lead gray sky low on the flat silver river.

 Then I heard a voice in the middle of infinity.
 It was a woman.
 The ship she was sailing on came downstream.
 She was alone on deck, she was at the helm.

 And what she sang, I heard that it were Psalms.
 Oh, I thought, is my mother there? 
‘Praise God,’ she sang, ‘his hand will keep you’.

Antonius Willems, born in 1954, is a Dutch artist who specializes in sculpture and painting. He graduated from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Art and Design. Willems' artwork can be found in private and public collections across various countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and Japan.

In his artistic practice, Willems seamlessly blends painting and sculpture to create sculptures, installations, and paintings. His works are characterized by vibrant colors and their spatial dynamics. Rather than following art trends, Willems focuses on concept-based creations that engage with the spirit of the times, often accompanied by ironic visual commentary. 

While his artworks are abstract in nature, they frequently derive inspiration from and evoke emotions associated with the natural world. The artist's paintings exude a serene and reflective atmosphere, akin to the works of Giorgio Morandi, whom he greatly admired.

Antonius Willems lives and works in France, where he continues to explore and expand his artistic vision.
