Ingbert Brunk has been living and working in Greece on the Cycladic island of Naxos since 1985. His first studio was situated in a Venetian fortress, later a monastery, built on the ruins of an ancient acropolis, high above the modern town. Since 2009 he has been working from his new studio on the eastcoast of Naxos.
Initially, it was the special quality of the local white, crystalline and highly translucent marble from the island that inspired the sculptor to stay there. His sculptural work combines the archetypal forms of ancient and classic Greece with a modern minimalist language.
