My work is driven by an uncanny feeling that, very often, captures my imagination, a sort of visual ambiguity, a presence that whispers not to my ears but to my eyes and tells me about places and things trapped inside of images.
I am attracted to stuff that you can’t fully see; like that room at the end of a corridor, only seen through a narrow gap between the wall and the door or the face of a person looking the other way. Places and things where visual reality and imagination find each other, a vastly unexplored territory right at the junction of 2d and 3d realms.
I create sculpted images, 3D objects that are meant to inhabit the viewer’s space. Landscape is a recurrent theme for me. I recently started exploring Still Life compositions.
In my practice, I combine many techniques i.e. Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, 3D printing, VR, Photogrammetry, Sound Design and more recently AI.
