Statement
My inspiration comes from the existential problems of the human being. The different sides of them are either happiness as well as drama, innocence and irony. These small sculptures arise from that observation.
My intention is to reveal the aspects that we usually keep to ourselves (fear, uncertainty, weakness), “satirize” attitudes or psychological issues of the human being that usually arise when we want to achieve something that appears far from us or is unattainable, to carry out actions – apparently – difficult or, simply, to make us understand.
Both the distortion and the physics-defying instability generate a mirror where the viewer can see and think of himself, as well as of others, it is a reflection of the absurd and impossible or simply of simple humanity.
