Sculptural art is a play with matter in space.
Figurative, portrait sculpture is always a topical discipline. In figurative sculpture, the artist inventively makes visible not only the outer but also the inner, invisible world of the sitter. The artist creates the personality of a person in the matter and at the same time leaves their traces in it, the traces of the creator. For me, joy in sculpture begins where the slavish imitation of reality ends and the autonomous creation of a new, hitherto unknown one beginning.
