I am a sculptor working primarily in marble, alabaster, jasper, and onyx. These stones, with their enduring strength and natural beauty, form the foundation of my practice. I carve in the traditional way, using hammer and chisel, a method I studied through courses in Italy and London. This slow and physical process is central to my work: every strike of the tool is a negotiation between the resistance of the material and the expressive qualities I seek to reveal.Much of my work focuses on the human figure and its capacity for expression. I am fascinated by how the unique qualities of each stone, its grain, translucency, or weight can influence the mood and presence of a piece. By choosing materials carefully, I allow their inherent character to guide the final form. Inspirations such as Emily Young, Auguste Rodin, and Henry Moore have shaped my understanding of the figure, yet my own practice is rooted in the dialogue I create with the material itself.Alongside stone, I have also worked extensively with porcelain and clay. This medium offers a contrasting delicacy and introduces colour through glazing as an additional dimension. Despite their differences, both stone and porcelain demand a physical engagement that is central to my way of making.My work has been shown regularly with the Society of Portrait Sculptors and the Chelsea Art Society in London, and it is held in several private collections. Exhibiting allows me to share not only finished pieces but also the ideas and processes that underpin them.At its core, my practice is about exploring the expressive potential of form and material. Through traditional techniques applied to timeless substances, I aim to create sculptures that carry both physical presence and emotional resonance.
