The sculpture was commissioned by the owner of a family-run hotel. All five family members have the same zodiac sign: Capricorn. And that became the logo of the hotel.

Look below the surface is the message you find in Jop’s sculptures
For Jop van Driel every sculpture starts in wood. Some sculptures are also cast in bronze, but always in a limited edition. Each edition is described at the notary and has a certificate. This gives collectors the guarantee that no more sculptures will be cast than the specified number.
Wooden sculptures are always one of a kind. A sculpture is created by processing a piece of wood. Each is a unique design, either tailored to the wishes and story of the client or made from inspiration.

The Capricorn
The deeply-carved arm
Like every artist, Jop has developed his own signature, which is clearly reflected in this image. Deeply carving the arm with twisting and torsion, symbolises the elusiveness and fragility of human grasp.
The disguise
The clown dons his nose to face the public, hiding his true feelings. But when he takes off his nose he can reveal his true self.
The power of the bull
This impressive image reflects the power of the world-famous Hungarian bull's blood wine.
Three become one
Three horses, three characters. Captivating sculpture about strength, struggle and cooperation on the way to the top.
