About

artist statement
“I explore the essence of ART: I am intrigued by the motifs of the works that endure over time, and those that fall into oblivion.

I live art as a timeless conversation where not everything is said, where the essential is diluted in a whisper.

As any observer in a museum I wonder-The meanings that I do not find, are at the same time, the ones that initially confuse me, arouse my interest and in the end enrich me with the discovery. The experience makes the piece always accompany me because in a certain way I become an artist also of that apparently unfinished art.

That is what I finally intend when I create my art: I want you to be an active part of my living work.

The meaning behind my art will be a "just for your eyes" and is left in your hands. So what do you want to contemplate?
