ARTIST’S STATEMENT:

It is very simple to talk about my work – I just love glass. I am not really looking for the quantity effects that the material offer. What I am trying to do is to discover is the inner origin and peculiar world of the glass. What about my themes? They come spontaneously. They are everywhere around as – the relationship between people, nature, music … One has only to look and listen.

I will be totally happy if I manage to touch somebody with my work and bring my feelings and perceptions to others through my glass objects.
