While attending school in Italy, I was inspired by the Renaissance masters, who were able to carve the human form with extraordinary detail and emotional depth. This influence sparked my interest in ceramic sculpting in 2010. I sought to capture hidden emotions and portray people in their most private states—both mentally and physically—while remaining rooted in a classical tradition.

Over time, my work evolved as I discovered that working in bronze allowed me to refine details and express a wider range of emotions. Stories began to emerge, and each piece took on new life and meaning. I had always been fascinated by twisted realities and surreal fantasies, but bronze gave me the freedom to express ideas I had never been able to capture before. It was through this medium that my whimsical—and sometimes sarcastic—sense of humor truly emerged.

By combining these two styles, I hope my creations engage viewers and draw them into their own imaginative realms. I want them to question what they see, share a good laugh, revel in the stories I’ve created, or feel inspired to create stories of their own.
