About Me
"I decided to work with glass (after trying other materials), because it allows me to see through its physical essence and perceive what lies beyond its texture, transparency and color, its SOUL! Each individual piece that I create is full of myself. There is nothing perfect in my work because perfection is not what I seek. Instead, I try to provoke beauty in the imperfect together with a definite result. The imperfection is part of the work done by hand, it is part of the path of my life. and the history of my work”
