About
Specialisation in design and realisation of sculptural and art furniture, sculpture, and decorative art works, with extensive experience and expertise in the restoration, completion and customisation of antiques and historical metalwork.
As a sculptor and designer, my work is driven by narrative and historical referencing – and is simultaneously familiar and deeply unconventional.
My creative working technique is dominantly hand-on and experimental, with digital methodologies employed in explorative and analytical development phases. -
