From semi-abstract figures to bio-morphic abstract compositions, I strive for shapes and forms expressing life and energy. I work with different materials to convey the vision of the specific message.

I use the method of successive approximations: starting with multiple drawings, sketches and prototypes, then executing the piece, allowing the material to realize the original concept. While I work by myself, with my hands and a minimal set of tools, I rely strongly on anatomical and geometrical references, taking multiple measurements and performing calculations on my path to the finished piece. I try to work on small to medium scales, rendering pieces which can be displayed in a variety of environments.

While I work by myself, with a minimal set of tools, I rely strongly on anatomical and geometrical references. I prefer to use hand tools for both carving and modeling. On occasions I use technology to facilitate my artistic concepts, such as digitization of my drawings and 3D modeling based upon my clay prototypes. I also can create digital sculptures and 3D print sculptures. All the technology is used from the perspective of hand sculpting. I like to work with technology as an extension of my hands, I assemble, condition, operate, program and maintain all my equipment, including 3D printers, CNC machines and 3D scanners.

Having the choice of achieving machine-aided perfection, I choose not to travel that path, but rather let hand-made humanity being at the forefront of my work. It always starts with a blank sheet of paper, and always ends with some elements of hand-made realizations.

One recurring theme for my art is the interaction between the human cognition and the immediate environment or private space. My recent explorations include the imagery of the pre-columbian world, and the ancient rituals of the Americas, especially around the Amazonas river and the Titicaca lake. I’m looking for a contemporary interpretation of this ancient cultural heritage. This is just a current theme, the general motif is the contemporary interpretation of old forms.

From stone to plaster, to mixed media, to virtual reality, each project will dictate which material is better suited to materialize the forms and volumes I’m looking for.

My priority, more than ever, is creating an engaging experience for the art lover and collector.
