Meet the Artist:
Who is the artist…?
To express what human beings feel and experience, they have the arts.
Since childhood, I have enjoyed making things with my hands; materials and tools are my toys. Sculpture is my game, also my fulfillment as a human being and a social entity.
Making art is communicating, and human communication can unite, foster evolution, and uplift the spirit of all times and all cultures, manifesting the inherent impulse of the human heart, the impulse of LIFE for elevation and improvement.
It could be said, in a poetic sense, as THE YEARNING TO FLY.
In the depths of the human unconscious, there is a call to HARMONY; my work is about THAT.
Who am I as an artist? I ask myself.
Something deep within me tells me:
You are a leaf in a vast forest and a drop in the ocean; FLOW like the river and let yourself be, fulfilling what YOU ARE.
