Artist Statement
My practice originates in a close observation of life at a microscopic scale. I focus on minute structures — cells, membranes, micro-organizations — that compose the architecture of the world. By bringing my gaze close to the surface of matter, I do not seek to reproduce these forms, but to experience their density, their pulse, their internal tension. The invisible becomes monumental; the infinitely large folds into microscopic organic tissue. This shift in scale alters perception and questions our place within the living world, inviting us to move beyond an anthropocentric view toward a more humble position.
This attention extends to earth, water, and the environments where life circulates and transforms. I perceive in them a complex system of interrelations and fragile balances. My work reveals fragments drawn from this continuum, as if exhumed from a world both familiar and often unnoticed, bringing forth the richness and vulnerability inherent in living systems.
The infinitely small and the infinitely large, the near and the distant, overlap within the same plane. Cellular structures become landscapes, cartographies, or cosmic phenomena; distances blur and scales merge, opening a space in which the intimate and the universal enter into dialogue.
Sculpture and installation in clay form the core of my practice, often developed in large scale. Emerging from the earth, clay retains the memory of gesture and time while asserting its own logic: it resists, cracks, hollows, and collapses. Through casting, engraving, pressing, and stamping, I inscribe furrows, fissures, and strata into the material. These traces form an organic visual vocabulary at the intersection of landscape and microscopy, where time is embedded in the surface itself.
Within these forms unfold cycles of birth, growth, and metamorphosis that traverse all living matter. Life’s strength and fragility unfold as one continuous movement, shaped by forces greater than ourselves, forces to which we irrevocably belong.
