ARTIST STATEMENT

As long as I can remember, I have always had an extreme need
to create and to express. Making art for me is the most intimate
activity, like writing or praying.
It’s a fact that we are losing our traditional skills because
everything is so convenient, quick & easy. Everything is
replaceable. I believe people lost an understanding of what is the “creative
process”. Fine craft has become an undervalued aspect of
today’s world and it’s my absolute passion to reintroduce an
appreciation and awareness of this quality craftsmanship to the
people around me.
Each of my artworks starts with a sketch. The rough sketch is often
just a shape that begins to develop step by step as I intuitively apply
different techniques to create specific effects and shapes. I enjoy
creating numerous little shapes and pieces and then giving myself
the challenge of putting them together to create one object.
For me creating art is a “felt” process; sometimes, the aim is to
explore, and sometimes to express. The choice of shapes and
colours is an emotional decision. “I really enjoy pursuing the
challenging pathway to abstraction. I believe that abstract art
engages you at another level. You have to stop trying to understand
it and just feel it.”
Marquetry taught me to slow down and enjoy the process. Each
piece is a reminder of the close relationship between Mother Earth
and us. I also find it fascinating that a tree lives, dies and is reborn
again in the form of art or furniture.
I always find quite absurd that we have such strong beliefs and
worship invisible forces but cannot respect and see the
importance of the creations around us. Nature is something we
would not be able to exist without. We all can learn so much by
simply observing it.
