Sculptures made from marble and rock

A body of sculptures and syntheses in marble or rock creates thin and light forms with emphasis on the harmony of the curves and the combination of shapes front and back, inside and outside. It is a continuous search for expressing not the impression, but rather the restructuring of sensations, ideas, and the overthrow of the “tyranny of the object”. The marble and the rock being so hard and yet so emphatically fragile, participate provocatively in the rendering of images and meanings, but also in the harmony between volumes and soft lines, a harmony opposed to the compulsion of symmetry. New relations between volumes, the topography of living things, and ideas are expected to emerge through these works. A small new world that does not necessarily have to be interpreted through logic may be revealed to us and we may like it.
