Artistic approach

With over thirty years of achievements to my credit, my approach has taken several avenues. I went from figurative sculpture to stylized (semi-figurative) sculpture. I exploited mythological themes, then what I called integration sculpture or jewel sculpture; integration of fine stone, fine wood and metal. This idea of ​​integrating different materials in the same work has remained, over the years, one of the guidelines of my production and has allowed my work to stand out from what was done in sculpture. Over time, I came to be represented by various prestigious galleries which helped to disseminate my work. I have been described as an artist of form and movement. Today, I still consider myself an explorer of form and movement, but also of matter, and this translates into my recent production.
