I am working with various materials. The submitted art pieces are compositions on sea plywood, created with old wood, drift wood, metal wire and rock, painted with chalk paint, waxed, varnished and had enough time to cure.
Q&A
Artist Statement
The 3d effect of the compositions in sea plywood makes the art pieces unique. All the materials are painted with authentic –ecological chalk paint colors, sealed with special clear wax and transparent water varnish, and had enough time to cure.
What craft do you work with?
In the submitted art pieces, old wood scraps, hand crafted metal wire details , rocks and drift wood are transformed to give a new story.
What inspires you to work with this craft?
Nature: the unique colours of the sky , Aged wood is transformed given life, a journey into our past and the memories of our childhood

As a trained architect and designer, I tend to obsess with forms and textures -contrary to freeform creations- mainly using the wheel to shape, trim and create utility & decorative items. Objects that look industrial but feel handmade.

How many stone fragments create a mosaic? How many memories craft a human? How many human stories craft the world? The mosaic is often used as a metaphor for the social condition osmosis of many, different, random assemblages within an often landscaped cultural urban diversity.
