Artist’s Statement 
Art, for me, is a language of transformation. My journey as an artist was shaped by a pivotal moment—being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This unexpected turn forced me to reconsider my path, not only as a professional but as a human being. Architecture, my initial creative discipline, became a foundation, but it was no longer the structure in which I could fully express myself. Instead, I found freedom in sculpture, installation, and the tactile connection with materials like clay, metal, and natural elements.
The process of working with clay became more than just a means of creation—it became a form of healing. The physicality of sculpting helped restore my fine motor skills, but more importantly, it allowed me to translate my evolving perception of the world into tangible forms. Clay, with its rawness and plasticity, resonated deeply with me. It embodies both fragility and strength, much like the human experience.
At the core of my artistic practice lies an exploration of identity, tolerance, and the relationship between humans and their environment. I am particularly interested in the contrasts between modern cities and the organic nature of materials, between individuality and the collective experience. Each work I create emerges from an idea—materials follow concept, not the other way around.
Over the years, I have sought a balance between minimalism and complexity, between structure and intuition. My projects range from ceramic installations to public metal sculptures, each carrying a conceptual weight that invites the viewer to engage, question, and reflect. In recent years, alongside creating large ceramic installations and metal sculptures for public spaces, I have been working on an ecological project. This project offers a critical reflection on the present and raises questions about the future, our choices, and the challenges ahead.
Ultimately, my art is about transformation—not just of materials, but of perception. It is a process of constant adaptation, mirroring the way we navigate change, both as individuals and as a society.
