In a world that often feels harsh—marked by wars, violence, volatile markets, and sometimes just an annoying colleague at work—I search for balance. My work arises from a deep desire for clarity, calm, and simplicity. A space to pause, to breathe, and to momentarily escape the constant noise of everyday life.
Using minimal means—glass, light, space—I create images that breathe silence. I work intuitively, with attention to the material and to whatever wants to emerge. Glass plays a central role: it catches and transforms light in ways that can’t be controlled. In that unpredictability lies its honesty, its life.
My installations, objects and paintings are not statements, nor conceptual riddles. They ask nothing. They simply are—a visual pause. A place to be, to look, to feel. A still presence that doesn’t shout but whispers. Not loud or grand, but quiet and clear.
Sometimes, something that is simply beautiful is exactly what we need.
