About the Artist

Sculpture is an alchemy of materials and emotion, of metal and movement. My work is an exploration of form, light, and space-woven threads of bronze and stainless steel suspended in a delicate dance between structure and fluidity. With each sculpture, I seek to create an experience-one that transforms the surrounding environment and evokes a deep emotional resonance. Every piece begins with inspiration-a moment, a landscape, a fleeting sensation. The process then unfolds through my hands, bending and shaping metal into an organic harmony of form. Each curve, twist, and intersection is deliberate, yet intuitive, responding to the energy of the material. The final stage is the release-the moment the piece finds its home, completing the cycle of creation. One of my most significant works, an elongated sculpture suspended on mirrored stone, exemplifies this journey. The polished bronze catches and bends the light, reflecting its surroundings in an almost ethereal way. The piece does not simply sit in the space-it interacts, it moves, it breathes. When placed in its final home, it was as though the space had been waiting for it all along. My collectors are not just patrons-they are collaborators in the placement and meaning of each sculpture. I've witnessed pieces become anniversary gifts, the first artwork installed in a new home, or the centerpiece of a grand atrium. My work finds homes in contemporary spaces and traditional ones alike, proving that true art transcends style-it is about connection. Refining my craft has led me to work with increasingly rich materials: marine-grade stainless steel, diamond-polished bronze, and custom-cast elements. This evolution has been more than technical-it has been deeply personal. Sculpture, for me, has always been a spiritual practice, a lifelong pursuit of transformation and refinement. In many ways, I was never merely a sculptor, but a student of alchemy-seeking the perfect balance of material, form, and meaning. To place a sculpture is to create a dialogue between art and architecture, between movement and stillness. It is an honor to witness that moment of recognition when a piece finds its home-when the space comes alive, and the art is not just seen but felt. Art is not static. It is alive, evolving, and deeply personal. My sculptures are not just objects; they are experiences. And though I may part with each one, I leave knowing they will continue to live, resonate, and inspire.
