My Vision:
"To create--is for me a necessity to go further, in full recognition, to entertain the expression of a feeling; the need to portray a moment that is special or beautiful. And equally, to select free forms, whether writing, painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry and, yes, even my own person to express those feelings at this stage of my existence. I attempt to be faithful to my feelings without excessive aesthetic ambitions. Man breaks out revealing something more profound in order to be liberated with the intention to be free of his protected skin.



To be naturally pure is impossible all of the time, but there are moments when it can be achieved--and that is the wonderful part, this feeling of creation. Such creativity gives me happiness, frees me of anxiety and suffering and connects me with the "essential"--for me that's love."
