about
People. It may sound a little generic, but I’ve recently realised that the people you keep in your life can dramatically alter and reshape your approach to many things. I've discovered in the best possible way that I am deeply inspired by people.
Often, they might not even notice it, but every once in a while, a conversation reaches that "a-ha!" moment, sparking new ideas within me. Musicians, poets, doctors, chefs, and especially young children—all sorts of people unexpectedly influence my art and inspire me in profound ways.
In my work, the human form lies at the center of my storytelling, reflecting emotions through both sculpture and drawing. This artistic focus emerges from the diverse perspectives and shifting values that different stages of life bring to our appreciation of the world. My art often explores themes from Greek mythology, reinterpreting these stories to find new meanings in everyday experiences. For example, my sculpture Hypnos, from the Childlike collection (2018), references the concept of sleep from a child’s perspective, transforming the simple act of sleeping into a magical journey to dreamland.
HOW I GET inspirED
THE ART OF MAKING
As a kid, creating gave me a safe space, even a shelter when I wanted to get to know myself a little more. Because when you create on your own it’s all about your heart and initially you firstly need to please yourself.
I would use any material I could find in my immediate environment: mud, soil, clay, wood, paper. The list is endless. It is to those first structures that I owe my creativity and passion for art! That’s why in my art it is quite often to see different elements being married with one another. In my work now I model with clay, leading up to the final result with off-concrete or concrete plaster and/or bronze.
