ABOUT
My work emerges from the intersection of two enduring interests: creativity and wood.
Since childhood, I have made unexpected associations. My thinking unfolds through lateral connections rather than a linear sequence. I see another function in an object, bring together worlds that seem to have little in common, shift familiar rules, and imagine other possibilities for familiar situations. Many ideas emerge from language. Words, expressions, and ambiguities that can be taken literally and transformed into images or objects. I am particularly interested in the state of being “almost right,” when something remains recognizable but no longer entirely follows the logic we expect.
Alongside this, my relationship with wood predates my relationship with art. I have always been fascinated by its species, scents, colors, and leaves. This curiosity has also developed into a research practice focused on the material culture of wood, investigating different species through their biology, geography, properties, history, and cultural significance. By understanding where the material comes from and the histories it carries, the wood acquires meaning beyond its physical qualities.
Sculpture brought these two interests together. Sometimes the wood itself sparks an association. At other times, an idea leads me to search for a specific wood. Wood is not simply the material chosen to execute an idea, nor does the idea exist merely to justify the use of wood. Material and thought shape the work together.
Sculpture thus becomes the physical space where these associations can exist.
