            Artist statement

            There are no theories behind
            my work, only the desire to understand the world through sculpture,
            a medium with which I have a natural relationship

            In my work I constantly
            recognise the experimentation with materials and techniques.
            this being the principal theme. The issues that interest me (universal,
            political, social, personal) are transitory and are the starting
            point in the search for an answer to explain the world
