Balkenhol was born in 1957 in Fritzlar, Hesse, Germany, and studied art at the Hamburg School of Fine Arts from 1976-1982. From the mid-1980s to the present, Balkenhol represents the human figure as ordinary looking men or women in simple clothing. It is through works carved out of wood that Balkenhol established himself as an internationally renowned artist. Balkenhol lives and works in Karlsruhe, Germany, and Meisenthal, France.
