Herold van den Berg
Herold van den Berg
Herold van den Berg was born in Breda and after living in London and Amsterdam for many years, he settled in the artist village of Laren NH in 2003. At a young age, Herold was already busy with creative expressions and very interested in various art forms such as print, haut-couture and especially the story and message behind it. He wanted to become a fashion designer, but the pressure to study and color within the lines was great, but his passion remained latent.
A normal event changed his life in 2015 at the age of 48. A missing cat from an 'unknown' neighbor brought an artist into his life. The circle ⭕ was complete. His first sculpture at the Gooische Academy of Modern Arts aroused suspicion (is this your first sculpture ever?) but also a lot of interest. His drive, energy and commercial approach ensured rapid growth. His works are now sold through international galleries all over the world and Herold has created artworks for several private art collectors.
Herold creates art with a story, inspired by social developments and challenges and tries to bring about change through his artworks: confrontation, awareness and reflection. It is about the story behind the artwork.
