Description: I observe the phenomenon of transformation, which takes place thousands of times a day and affects our lives. Not only the visual, but also the comprehensive sensual attention in constant alternation with the daily flow of information determines my thoughts. It is a constant absorption and release that is expressed in the field of tension of my sculptural work. They are imprints of organic and inorganic surfaces that become legible when worked in stone. My works have no title, as they become legible through touch.
