in my mind and on paper. but
during the creation process,
each piece starts to generate
its own rules and the
interaction that follows can
often result in something
completely different from the
initial idea.
I try to infuse individual
and personal characteristics
in each piece I create, even
down to the smallest animal
sculpture.
All my ceramics are hand
crafted, I use different types
of clay, very often combined
with metal or glass, as the
primary idea dictates the
material and technology I use
in each project.
My rules are based on

perfectly straight, the
essence of all art is how much
of your heart you ...
