What made you decide to become an artist? What is your path?
My passion for art has existed since my adolescence. I first devoted myself to painting, then to sculpture, in which I found total fulfillment. Over the years, I have used different materials: wood, stone, metal, resin... often combining the different materials.
What are the 3 aspects that differentiate you from other artists?
Conceptual art, each of my works has a meaning. Simplicity of form. The cheerfulness of colors
Where does your inspiration come from?

Tell us about the design of your works. Do you have a long preparatory work or is it spontaneous?
Most of the works are the result of an impulse, like a sudden explosion.
What do you want to show through your work?
I want to capture the aesthetic sense of the viewer and lead him to reflection.
Do you use any unusual techniques or materials in your work?
Yes, I like to work with different materials that are often used in other fields. I currently work with polyurethane, which I often combine with more common materials used in sculpture.
Do you have a favorite format? Why ?
I went from large works to small works which are more economically accessible and therefore everyone can afford to have a unique and original work.

The difficulties of time, which is never enough to achieve everything I would like.

I work in a private studio, strictly alone and without distractions, as I experience each job as an intimate relationship.
Does your work as an artist lead you to travel a lot?
Not anymore, because times have changed and most of my sales are done online. In addition, because of the pandemic, although I participated in some exhibitions organized by daring gallery owners who were not afraid of the virus, I confess that I preferred to send my works without being present.
What is the best moment of your career?
My best moment was soon after the pandemic started, when I worked on the covid theme and won three art competitions in the span of a few months.

In 10 years, I will certainly have more time to devote to my passion and I will therefore be very busy.
