How do you define your Art style ?
My art is about creating a new imaginary and poetic world of sculptures with wings. Most of my sculptures are in iron, using several techniques, often close to silver work, metallic fusion and arc welding. I discovered and improved my unusual technique due to the mistakes I made over the years.

What is your own artistic Statement ?
Working with iron gives us infinite possibilities. Everything can be reused and turned into something new. A struggle can be easily overcome by facing one problem after the other. With the iron, we can do anything and create our own material.
What is the driving force , the inspirational source for your Art ?
I am inspired by the love and light in my life.
Life is very fragile. In my sculptures, I try to represent this weak balance by showcasing the breaking point.
Have you been influenced by a certain Artist ?
