This is what Willem Stoop himself says about his creations...

..."The core of my work lies in the memory of casually picking up a shell on the North Sea beach. I have never forgotten the emotion I got when looking attentively at the inside of this shell. It was a experience of omnipotent beauty, which made me realize that everything can be seen in the small and so-called everyday. I found a piece of paradise.
The skin - the catchiness of ordinary, earthly material - has therefore become a common thread in my work. I am a surgeon who wants to analyze the world in detail from the smallest fragment.
The materiality of my work is reflected in the use of, for example, tar, wool, velvet, paper. The surgeon in me fillets these materials and limits himself to a few image aspects such as line, color and texture. This process takes the form of a DNA test. The repetition of form and line leads to patterns and systems in which authentic, perfect detail reveals itself.
In our daily existence it is the essentials that make us survive and that is extremely intriguing.
In 2004 and 2006 I spent a number of months in Zambia. The earthly reality in that country is omnipresent. There we experience the essences that make us survive and that is extremely intriguing"...
