Artist´s statement:

 

Nature is my primary source of inspiration, guiding me to uncover the infinite possibilities within wood.
Through the raw and untamed essence of this material, I bring nature's contrasts into harmony.

 

As a self-taught artist, I embrace the freedom to experiment with techniques and forms, allowing my work
to evolve organically. My sculptures explore contrasts—softness meets sharpness, light intertwines with
shadow, and smooth surfaces coexist with textured forms. These opposing elements create interactions
that encourage reflection and evoke emotion.

 

Simplicity and beauty are at the core of my work, not as static ideals but as evolving concepts rooted in the
natural world. Each piece is meticulously hand-carved, revealing the wood’s natural character and unique
textures. To enhance its essence, I incorporate lime wax and black pigment, emphasizing contrast and depth
in every sculpture.

 

Sculpting is not only an artistic process but also a way of understanding life itself—a journey that allows me
to express my authentic self and connect deeply with the world around me. Each sculpture becomes a
testament to nature's complexity and the human journey of discovery.
