Every material has its own time. The palette knife shapes, the brush strengthens, the hands refine: each gesture respects the natural rhythm of the material.
The time of matter cannot be rushed. Every relief, every curve, every detail requires listening, patience, and presence. It is a silent dialogue between me and the material, a meeting between the essence of form and the light that passes through it.
When I work, I follow the natural flow of the material: the sun illuminates the highs and lows, the air caresses the surface, the water strengthens and protects. Each bas-relief becomes a bridge between what I feel inside and what takes shape, between the invisible and the visible.
Creating means respecting the time of matter, allowing transformation to happen, letting light and form emerge.
