Mr. Caus is based in the Netherlands, a country famous for its multiculturalism.　His series of faces composed of numerous tiny molded lilies is entitled “Madonna Lily.”

The sources from which I dwell, is my interest in different cultures and their traditions. They come from the basis of my own background. With parents who originated from the Far East and me having grown up in the West, I have been formed and nourished by two cultures.
In a way, I am in search of elements that match the process that is going on inside of me, of shaping my own identity and of self perception.
A synthesis, a symbiosis, a melting pot of different cultures that enrich each other.

I look upon my work as an interaction between what is observed and the emotions that are felt versus the outside world which also play a role in the process. The frame of mind at a particular moment together with seeing what is already there, cause the formulation of the next step.

As a result of this interaction, a story of its own arises. My every day reality together with my romantic reality that colors my view of the world. The outside world is thus converted to my inner world. Consequently it becomes emotionally accessible and possible to deal with artistically.

Through traveling and doing projects I shape my ideas about this. The mixture of cultural expressions, especially focused on traditional ceramic art(crafts) and architecture are the branches of art of which I use certain elements.

Through the recurrent character of my work, I examine the technical possibilities as well as the limitations in this area. Through orientation and working at different ceramics companies that apply these reproduction techniques, I gain experiences. This concerns companies in and outside the region where I live.

My work as an artist is a reaction to the aforementioned, I make statues and/or installations, within which I try to define/explore the line between arts and crafts.

I make use of varied forms and/or form elements. By placing them as a structural element in a repetitive composition they are disconnected form their original functional use/function. In this way/thus I evoke a different way of looking at them, i.e. different from looking at each element separately. On the one hand the aspect of repetition
creates a bigger distance, on the other hand it straitens out the path to approach the work of art in total, with its own significance and validity.
