Creative Approach


My preliminary studies deconstruct the original semantics of my references, reinterpreting them through successive iterations of drawing and carving until they are reduced to their essential symbolic and structural form. 

These studies guide me into establishing a vocabulary for my forms who will later be sculpted into final models.
