The little one who is always waiting at the corner.
The little one searching for the beginning and the end in the circle of life.
That lost one among people, who forgot how to feel life.
I will seize that bodiless life and sculpt a trunk with thousands of limbs. I will find those lost pieces and stitch them together with needles made of luxurious metals. With the blessing of Klotho, I will unite your spiritual, denied, discarded flesh, scattered in the dirt, filled with silver tattoos and rusted taboos. I will become the Frankenstein of your dreams, creating heretical life beneath your steps, so that you may worship as you need; radiant and dark.
Site-specific and studio-produced artworks for commercial spaces and private clients. Each piece is conceived with a deep engagement with the space, considering its future occupants and aiming to expand sensory experiences.
Rooted in organic forms, liminality, and life’s cycle, these creations merge primal depth with allure. Inspired by surrealism and mythological narratives through a posthuman approach, the artworks offer a “polychrome grotesque” that blends dreamlike elements with vivid, intricate details.
Embodying an otherworldly, contemporary, and hybrid aesthetic, the work utilizes any material that comes into hand, ranging from the most delicate to highly structural elements, embracing an intuitive and exploratory approach to form and texture.
Participated in numerous exhibitions, ranging from galleries and museums to educational institutions and artistic events. Always seeks to engage in dialogue with the artwork through presence —without being, and without intending to become, a performer.
"Why such restraint? Hell has no tact."
Crest, 2020 — acrylic on wood
Primarily inspired by the crests of cacti, from which a subtle bird-like form gradually emerges, blending plant and creature into a single hybrid presence.
