Lia van Rhijn

Lia van Rhijn (born 1953 in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel) is a Dutch ceramist and sculptor, who makes sculptures of human – and animal figures and architectural forms.

It was Ernst Beijer who awoke her interest for special architectural lines, and she received glaze lessons from Henk Trumpie.

Travelling to Mexico, Ireland, Spain and imaginary tours to Cappadocia made her aware of the ethnic and geographic influence on art forms.

The baking and glazing of the images is carried out according to various techniques and in various ovens, including the Raku method.

Her images include human – and animal figures, with attention to moods and attitudes.
