Artist Statement:
Sculpting is a lifetime
translating emotions into
sculptures that tell about
life, our lifes, yours' and
mine.
I am far more interested in
the similarity of people, than
in how we differ. Althought
each person is unique we look
alike in our emotional worlds.
Wherever we live, whatever
language we speak, we all
recognize emotions like love,
loneliness, regret and
nostalgia. To be recognized
and to recognize automatically
creates a bond, a bond without
words nor borders. A bond
which can unite us/people all
over the world.
My sculptures (stone,
ceramics, metal or wood) are
made from the depth of my
inner life, which resembles
your inner life. In my work I
try to visualize the emotions
we share, to create a bond
between all of us. For I
believe, united we stand.
