Artist’s Statement

I am fascinated by the power of shape and material as well as color and surface. Life can be seen with fresh eyes or be experienced in a new way by touching a piece of matter. My artistic undertaking is to open new perspectives and create emotional bonds to humanity. I draw inspiration from people and nature. In public art I consider the local history and the cite specific features. I am focused on sculptural technics yet I love to paint too. My style varies between many genres from realistic to abstract consisting of all kinds of materials.
