About

I am a full time sculptor - designing and creating sculptures and installations are my passion.

Stone is my favourite medium, all stone; but I am also fascinated by other media such as metal, clay and any other durable materials. I enjoy especially the process of creation without a preconceived idea, it is like stepping into the unknown.

"There are unknown forces in nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her, without reserve, she lends them to us; she shows us these forms, which our watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect."

Auguste Rodin

When I work on conceptual art work or a commission my aim is to create a sculpture or installation, which grasps the topic, place, feeling and its connections.

My artwork shall give the viewer's mind thoughts for interpretation and the possibility to interact with the work as well as an inspiration to tap into their own creativity.
