Artist Statement
My works come to life through an anaphoric process of composing different elements that absorbs me in a slow creative flow. I use few tools, sometimes just the tip of my fingers with a pinch and coil technique, losing myself taking care of details.I love to create my own palette of pigmented clays and thinking of my work as three-dimensional painting. I am inspired by the metamorphosis and permutation of nature, its movements and changes, its strength and fragility, to give voice to its sensual power as the origin of life.
My aim is to create a sort of imaginary, fantastic and corporeal herbarium.
