Welcome to the gallery of Ria Houtkooper:

I have lived and worked in Costa Rica for over 30 years.

This country is rich in nature and natural woods, therefore I have made sculptures in precious tropical hardwoods but I also love the more ascetic feel of stone and marble.

My purpose is to transform the organic material and let movement and light join in a three dimensional way.

The form and movement  radiate energy and power.

Please enjoy and let your fantasy wander.....
