After studying in many artistic disciplines and training in art schools,
I began to study sculpture around twenty years ago because it was the only
visual art that I hadn’t practiced until then. As an interior designer I already had
to draw a lot, so it was an ideal change.
From the first day, I was fascinated by the fact that suddenly all my ideas, which
until then, had always been conceived in 2 dimensions were suddenly filling the
space and you could feel the material.
Furthermore, during this apprenticeship I developed a huge fascination with
abstracting the human body in different ways and in doing so I am constantly
experimenting to see how far a human body can be abstracted without losing its
human aspect and become purely formal.
As I created more and more sculptures, I also began to experiment with
different materials that are rarely used in classical sculpture. As a result,
I developed my own way of working. After a first sketch, my first preliminary
studies are always made in modeling wax so that I can work on them in peace
and without time constraints until the perfect shape appears.
Then I can choose the medium on which I can enlarge the image or simply finish
the study. They are cast in solid plaster molds. The wax is melted out, then
poured with a mixture of massive polyester and various additives depending on
the final look I want to achieve, bluestone, rust, metal, etc.
