Statement
It's “my personal therapy” to mold pieces of various dimensions, using basic tools like a used spatula, a plastic spoon, or an old comb. Adding a touch of creativity, I create powerful images that convey the strength of the bull, the elegance of the horse, and human figures with diverse meanings.
My ceramics go beyond utility, encompassing sculptural pieces due to their size and compelling expressive force. I craft pieces smoked and darkened by burning leaves after the initial kiln exposure.
The recently replaced home kiln now enables the creation of larger pieces.
