Reviving an ancient stonework, I recuperate fine alabaster sculptural work and turn it into abstraction, manufacturing contemporary sculptures. I spent many years pursuing my own personal apprenticeship, preparing myself with a deep appreciation and affinity with the stone I carve and a profound respect for the heritage of my sculpting profession.
It is for me to recognize what can be unearthed: to mirror the magnificence of light and colors of form and discover the sensuality that lies within. With a courage gained through experience, I can break into these stones, revealing their secrets subdued, cloaked in the dusts of the evolution of the Planet and turn them into mirrors of Universal fractalness.
Early in the morning, I start, with a touch of the hand, ready to encounter the stone, to hewn and carve it in order to make her rise lyrically, to reveal her sensitivity, the beauty that lives in our collective unconscious that the stone reflects over her rough skin. In the creation of a piece of work, I have to make use of my knowledge and intuition and thus armed bring forth a form that can reflect a multitude of universal dimensions.
So it is through the unconscious that I fuse with alabaster, reaching for a formal reflex.
