Statement of intents:
"Contemporary art with ancestral soul. My works are made mainly in copper and silver, an innovative material for the technique I used, which is filigree, fine threads intertwined with each other, soldered like lace, creating new shapes, transparencies, shadows. Exploring the different finish alternatives that this material offers me, rust, patinas, pure copper.
Through my work I try to give life to these materials, show their secrets. Each piece is unique and has a story."
