About The Artist
My passion for wood sent me start working with this material as a hobby.
I love the shapes that wood can enable, its smell, its touch, the confort sensation it provides and the variety of visual aspects and collors we can find in the nature.
I decided to work as a craftsman, creating only exclusives pieces to the art and decoration markets.
Nature is one of my great inspiration sources. I try to use my works to sensitize people how powerful and important nature has always been.
Another huge source is the daily life: events, experiences, news, images, facts, ....contribute a lot to my creations. The idea is not only reproduce something but mainly tease the viewer to think about the showed subject.
As an autodidact artist I love the abstract.
I also love curves and waves. They give a soft and fluidity sensation to the work.
As an artisan I prefer to use my hands and some no industrial equipments and tools.
In every new work I try to challange myself creating a new shape or inovating the way it will be produced. This is an important motivation aspect for me.
My creations are the outcome of three passions in my life: wood of course, but also the desing and sustainability subjects.
Preferentially I use disposal wood as material , from houses that have been demolished, trees that needed to be cut (to old or for safety reasons),....
It is a great pleasure to give a new life to a piece of wood that would be dismissed. But also a great responsability: give a new shape to something that has been shaped by nature since a long time.
