ARTIST STATEMENT
*
**
***
****
Material carefully worked on by a human hand builds a bridge between civilisation and nature, themes I have long focused on in my work. I approach creation with intuition even though there are many sources of inspiration in my work, with religion, mythology and mysticism, childhood memories, nature or even the material itself being among them. Recently I have devoted myself mainly to collage sculptures, examining and testing attributes of various organic materials.
*****
My goal is to keep on working, this is essential. When working intuitively, an artist can never really predict in which direction their following steps may go. Nevertheless, I claim I will not stop creating. I dare to say that my determination and my tenacity have been tested by time.
