Artist Statement

 

 

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.

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