Artistic process

Everything began in 1996 when I attended a class of meditation and relaxation. In each of my practices or meditation, I felt in me an energy which developed more and more. It created a big open-mindedness and an attraction for the art. Self-taught I begin with the drawing, and then the creation of what looks like most mandalas, but in three (3) dimensions. Rather quickly, the inspiration which guides me manages me towards the creation of ornamental sculptures.

Since this time, my inspiration and my talent continue to develop and to refine; it became as a second personality always present in me.

My ornamental sculptures look like faces, masks or craft costumes decorated for particular events (cultural, ancient and other rites). The geometrical forms, the colors and all that I conceive owes be relief, of credit note of the depth. The used basic materials are: pottery, pearls, jewelry, iron, cardboard, synthetic stones, diamonds, painting...

All that I create of my hands are images, concepts which appear in my spirit, and it takes me easily from three to four months for the conception and the manufacturing of a work, and sometimes even until six months. All my creations are unique works which cannot be reproduced, and it, even by me.

I express by my art and my creations the perfect expression of a new energy... All my works are modern, even futurists, and call us in the depths of our soul. Take time to contemplate them and meditate on each of them, and feel different positive sensations.
