My work is developed without a predefined theme or narrative. In both my sculptural and painterly practice, the focus lies on form, material, structure, and the interaction with light. The making process is fundamental: the final form emerges gradually through a direct dialogue with the material itself.
As a sculptor, I work with wood, stone, and metal, respecting the inherent properties and resistance of each material. The sculptures are created through a slow, physical process in which every intervention is the result of observation and experience. The forms are non-illustrative and are built through tensions between mass, void, and rhythm.
My paintings are executed exclusively in black and equally avoid thematic or figurative intent. Each painting is approached as an object — a carrier of structure and light. Through layered applications of paint, relief, and surface variation, the work responds actively to changes in light and viewing angle. Black functions not as a color, but as a spatial field in which subtle nuances of depth, reflection, and surface become visible.
Sculpture and painting are not separate disciplines within my practice, but parallel investigations into presence and spatiality. Reduction plays a central role: by eliminating the non-essential, form, material, and light are allowed to assert themselves fully. My work deliberately positions itself outside of temporary trends and is grounded in an artisanal, material-driven approach.
For collectors, each work offers an autonomous, tactile presence in which durability, material integrity, and time are essential components.
