Living across different countries, cultures, and landscapes has deeply shaped my artistic language. From the timeless beauty and distinctive light of Venice to the dynamic energy of London and its contemporary art scene, I collect impressions that stay with me. In the studio, I transform these experiences into layers of colour, texture, movement, and abstract form, connecting historical references with contemporary experimentation. My work turns places, memories, and lived experiences into a personal visual language.

Rome is not just a city—it is a living memory of the world, where history merges with the unique Mediterranean light and a timeless aesthetic. The atmosphere of the Eternal City and Roman mythology became the main impulse for my new sculpture series. The central motif for me became Venus, a symbol of love, beauty, and natural female strength, which I translated into a modern, expressive form full of dynamics.

London Art Scene

My TOP 10: Where to Go for Art and Inspiration in London? While I looked for roots in museums, galleries charged me with the energy of the present. Tate Modern, housed in a former power station, constantly forced me to think differently. Conversely, its quieter sister, Tate Britain, captivated me by how seamlessly it connects historical art with contemporary elements in a single space. A completely different experience was offered by the minimalist White Cube gallery, with i

Why Sculpture is my greatest passion

Studying sculpture was a clear goal and a true heart’s desire for me. Capturing form in a three-dimensional space is an incredible challenge, and modeling 3D objects is far more complex than creating in two dimensions. Beyond the initial shaping of clay, both during my studies and in my ongoing practice, I mastered the complex world of casting technologies. Creating plaster, silicone, or Lukopren molds requires precise technical steps and logical planning.

At the Edge of the World

Nature is an extraordinary source of energy, but there are places where its force truly resonates deep within you. Traveling along the western coast of Portugal was precisely that kind of experience for me. The journey from Porto in the north, through iconic Nazaré, fairytale Sintra, the westernmost point of continental Europe at Cabo da Roca, historic Lisbon, and down to the southern beaches of Lagos and Faro left a profound mark on me.

The Venetian Myth behind Bronze collection

In Venetian symbolism, wings represent transcendence beyond the material world, and working with bronze allowed me to capture the striking contrast between the physical weight of noble metal and the weightless freedom of flight. My collection of bronze wings explores this inner movement through distinct sculptural forms, ranging from the initial desire to break free from the earth to the ultimate search for balance between the material and spiritual realms, ultimately arrivin
