Nic Jonk was born in Schermerhorn and spent his youth in Langedijk.
From 1945 to 1953 he attended evening classes at the Amsterdam School of Arts and Crafts; model drawing and sculpture with Wessel Couzijn.
From 1950 to 1954 he attended the Rijksnormaalschool in Amsterdam, from 1953 to 1956 he studied sculpture at the Rijksacademie at VPS Esser.
In 1965 he settled with his wife and children in Grootschermer in North Holland and started the Nic Jonk museum and sculpture garden.
Nic Jonk was crazy about the female model and was inspired in his sculptures by predecessors such as Maillol, Renoir and Bourdelle. His work shows respect for life and possesses an unprecedented primal force. The precision and the eye for details and nuances ensure that Nic Jonk's sculptures are wonderfully executed. The recognisability comes from the form, born from primal elements of life; water, earth, sun, woman, whale.
The sculpture garden in Grootschermer features colossal sculptures that radiate a carefree zest for life.
With his graphics and oil paintings he shows himself to be a master in depicting feminine beauty.
