I work subjects as global warming, optimism, passion, love, creating sculptures with an Oriental flavour as variations in Moonlight This results of working with bronze since 1992 ; heavy metal treated as lightly as possible aerian forms using void and volume. Actually my sculptures represent water,sea,winds, leaves in the wind, spirit, mystery, flying birds, freedom, using space in which one can feel what is happening and imagine , dream of it. The spectator is sculpting with his “thoughts” while the sculptor is “desculpting” . As George Braque said ,” Art is a wound transforming into light”
