I am a London based artist working within sculpture, installation drawing and performance. I am especially interested in organic materials where I feel kinship to artists like Joseph Beuys and Tadeusz Kantor.
I am also interested in curation and how a dramatic structure can be applied to an exhibition, seeing exhibition as an opus. I continuously research composition and see it as an internal grammar or a logic of a piece, with its large and small scale rhythms, words, phrases, verses, poems.
​
Sensory experience, intimacy and contact are key in my work, they manifest through processes of contemplation - a passive way of understanding, being open and attentive, a way to melt into an environment.

[Artists] are driven to lessen the burden of the unbearable disparity between their conscious and unconscious minds, and so to achieve peace. When they make art, their non-rational synthesis has the power to bring us peace.

David Mamet

​
A work of art should be as mysterious in its simplicity or its complication, as every living being is mysterious, of itself and of none other.
Like a flower that grows out of a given plant, so naturally should an artwork come from a human.
