CYCLE 2 Sculpture

Living on two continents and countries, Italy and Africa, contrast and energy fields I chose as an painter and sculptor in order to nourish and renew myself, to vibrate as a human being and be fully infused by the rough powerful beauty of Africa, as well as Italy's elegant refinement and artistic heritage. I need it all: the close connection to nature as well culture. My medium is manly stone, but I also work with wood and bronze. My forms are soft and round, organic, they imply and accentuate the sensuality of the material as well as life as I perceive it. Harmony and simplicity are reflected in the pure lines of my sculptures - an inner attitude I search and explore in life. Life cycles, nature symbols, my spiritual path, the archaic power as well as the fragility and the sensitive memory of the material fascinate me. I perceive carving as a ritual, a cosmic dance transcending matter.
