I sculpt because I need to express my love to my life, to the people that surround me, to the plants that I grow, to the animals that I touch, to the air that I smell, to the Sun that I bathe in, to the rain that washes my skin. I sculpt because I exist. I also am fascinated with what I see with my eyes and my hands – lines and forms, shapes and textures. It all inspires me.
There is no single ideal medium that I love. Every material brings its own beauty and expression. I have been working with clay, stone, bronze, steel, wax, resin, and concrete. I begin working in any material by exploring different techniques to bring the best in each medium. The concept follows.
I enjoy the thrill of doing something different in every project. I work spontaneously, planning only in general and not in much details.
I get inspired by other artists’ works: fine art, fashion, theater, music, cinema, architecture… My art universe is altered figurative and abstract. I like to show emotions through body gestures, I express distress with oddity, I use contours and colors to expose character.
I like challenges when working on my sculptures. Challenges open doors to new choices. And then it is just work, work, work to make it happen.
My studio is at Visual Philosophy in San Jose, CA.
