WHY I SCULPT...WHAT DO I MEAN...
I sculpt in complete freedom and create in silence... My work as a sculptor is based on the memory of my emotional transformations... Faces, characters sculpted, modeled, cast... roundbosses, masks... that emerge from my mythology, my beliefs and my uncertainties. Since 1973, I've been pursuing my legend, worthy of my hopes, my sufferings and my wanderings, by creating presences in wood, clay, hydrocal, paper, words...in direct size and beyond...miniature....Immortalize the sorcerer of being to create a presence...
