je sculpturen kosten eigenlijk evenveel als een echt paard, maar zijn wel levensecht, mooi gedaan

Christine Wheaton from USA

In your sculptures you have captured the heart and soul of this magnificant breed. I am a great lover of the Arabian horse which I owned years ago. Even today they remain a part of my life if only in my heart. Please email me your price list on the desk sculptures. Many thanks...Christine

Joni Hyricks from U.S.A

As an owner and breeder of Arabian horses,I wanted something special for myself when I turned 50 years old.
I always wanted a life size bronze to grace my yard and represents the breed to others.
I looked at all the major US horse shows,and did not find anything that felt truly represented the Arabian horse with enought detail. I began searching the Internet and found Cary,s site.
Based on only photo,s and some email correspondence with Cary,I purchased Magic Movement. Cary was always wonderful about staying in communication and updating me trough the process,I can not tell you how pleased I was with the arrival of the piece! He is stunning, and so much more detailed than the photo,s could ever show.
The vein detail in the face and the legs,the hair detail in the mane and tail.I could go on and on.
Please accept this as a reference without any hesitation,that if you want "the best" as a reference without any that this artist is who you want deal with. You are welcome to contact me about this very exceptional experience.

Hi
I love horses and your sculptures are wonderful. I wondered how long it takes to make a live size statue and what would it cost?
Many thanks. With kind regards

nikki stewart from ireland

A pleasure to work with Cary, his service was absolutely fantastic and the final piece was stunning. The Mam and sham was for my dads 60th birthday and Cary had to pull out all the stops in order to get it to me on time.

I wish you the very best with your future work and hopefully we will work together again some day.

Cheers
Nikki

Gene Swanson from USA

My wife and I commissioned Mam and Young Sham and have had the piece in our home for over two weeks. We had been looking for a sculpture of this type for years and it is now prominently displayed on what we refer as the "marble slab". It is more than I expected and I expected a lot.

I love the movement and awkward grace of Young Sham and I love the way Mr. Van Dansik portrayed the power and love of the doting Mam.

Mr. Van Dansik's passion and love for the Arabian is evident. Kathy and I can't be more pleased with our girls. Thanks Cary for having the soul to create this wonderful piece for us. We will cherish it always.

Jean Marc FERRIER from France

The "War Horse" arrived last week in my place. I spend a lot of time admiring it. I have been collecting bronzes and paintings of horses for years, and the War Horse will have a special place in this collection.
Artistically, but also anatomically speaking, this is one of the best piece of art I have seen in years of exposure to such works.
I am reaaly impressed, and I really do not regret to have taken the risk of ordering through internet and over a picture. The surprise, as I mentioned earlier, was that I received someting even more beautiful than what I would have hoped.
For those who hesitate, don't anymore. If you get a bronze from Cary Van Dansik, you will be part of the lucky ones.

Lovely sculptures! Really fantastic! Would love to be the owner one of those life-size sculptures, but I think I need a representative garden to put it in first... Really enjoyed the making-of-the-Peagsus photo album. Lots of hard work (and some sleepless nights I guess?)but a truly wonderful result!

Best wishes

YOUR WORK IS SO VERY GOOD INDEED THAT IT SEEMS A PITY THAT THIS MIGHT JUST LET IT DOWN A LITTLE. YOUR HEADS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. YOUR WORK MUST BE QUITE BREATHTAKING IN SITU.

Bedankt voor de lovende woorden in mijn gastenboek. Leuk dat u mijn vader ook even aanhaalde. Hij was echt een grootmeester. Net heb ik uw website weer even bekeken en ben weer zeer onder de indruk van uw perfecte anatomie van uw brozen paarden. Tegenwoordig wordt zo veel geaccepteerd, van die zogenaamde kunst, dieren zonder uitstraling en slecht van anatomie, jammer!!!. Ga door met uw werk, want beter kan het bijna niet meer, het is echt prachtig!!!!!!!

Breathtaking! I am an equine photographer and artist, and have just completed my first bronze! Your work is inspiring, the fluidity of movement superb, and the expression of the arabian captured perfectly.

Hello Cary...I have been overwhelmed this last week. The statue is beautiful!! Thank-you so much for all your time and effort. I will send you a photo of the finished piece once it has been mounted on the stone. I know you will be pleased. Thanx again for everything. It truly was a pleasure doing business with you and I am proud to have this sculpture to commemorate my father who was a horse lover as well as a gifted sculptor in his own right. All the best. *Lory*

I have spent Sunday afternoon visiting equine artist's websites, and for the most part, I didn't much like what I've seen. -- However, your work is absolutely wonderful!
Certainly a treasure. --- I've made more than 12 visits to Holland since 1980. The purpose has been to buy Fjordhorses from the Nederlandse Fjordenpaarden Stamboek in Hoederloo. You possibly may know of the Chief Inspector of the Studbook, Mr. Bob van Bon. He's a wonderful horseman and a dear friend of ours. -- Also, each year, we welcome young girls (and sometimes boys) to our farm as summer interns to work with the horses, and help in our equine tourism business. Always, they are good horsepeople, and delightful to have in our home. Thank you for a great website showing your suberb sculptures. Kind Regards, Carol Rivoire

Hoi Cary, Your work is incredible. I loved viewing the pegasus from drawing to wax, foundry to completed bronze. This was very interesting. I had the opportunity to work with an Italian sculptor named Giorgio Atzori for over a year. We worked on large figures for Catholic churches, municipal buildings, etc. Unfortunately the patrons never wanted to pay for bronze. Our sculptures were cast in bronze resin.
I like to relate to animals in a philosophical way, emulating their spiritual qualities (in an idealistic way). My favorite animals are the Lion for his strentgh, the Fox, for his cunning, and of course the wild stallion for his couragious, free spirit. Wild stallions are such beautiful animals. I really enjoyed your site and will return from time to time. Ciao.

Having taken delivery of a large bronze in 2001 I can truly say that Cary J. Van Dansik is a very talented Sculptor of Arab Horses. He is additionally an extremely efficient and considerate artist who personally oversees all aspects of the packing and despatch of his bronzes. It is a pleasure to deal with him and I hope that I will take more pieces from “Le Cheval Noir” in the coming years.
