Bibi was born in the Netherlands in 1957. She developed an interest in sculpture at an early age and encouraged by the well-known Dutch painter Hans Royaards, she put on her first exhibition at the age 15, when her work was shown at Arti (Amsterdam) in an exhibition for young and emerging talent.Rather than taking up a place at the Rietveld Academie, Bibi chose to read Classical Arabic at Leiden University, but she maintained her interest in sculpture and continued to do private commissions.

Bibi has now decided to show her work more widely and to develop her interest in sculpting animals (particularly horses) and people.

"I am primarily concerned with emotions. I aim to express human emotions and I often choose an animal to portray these emotions. The dejected horse is an example of this: unable to move very far from his exposed position on the slate, legs almost tied together, he just about succeeds in balancing and holding his own. A precarious state for the horse reflects our emotional instability yet there is a strength of character that shines through in the end."

Bibi’s second interest is line and form. When you look at the hands or the feet of her sculptures, although not very detailed they are an integral part of the bodyline, certainly not an afterthought. The strength of Bibi’s lines allows her to achieve fluidity in her works. Hands, feet, tails and ears of her subjects all balance a piece out, making it completely fluent, in form as well as in content.
