Artist’s Statement

Man often serves as the basis for my work. I am fascinated by the way people reflect in time and space: as wretched, contemplative and spiritual beings. The personal history of a person is also an interesting source of inspiration.

I mostly use bronze, aluminium and wood as the medium for my sculptures. Silkscreen, monotype and lithography are the most inherent techniques in print-making for me

The adoption of quality and a high work ethic are important factors for me. Material and technical knowledge are equally important elements, as is creating content for my work.
