For me sculpting is an instrument of self discovery, a possibility to understand connections and deeper meanings of life. Touching spiritual levels, developing my intuition and receiving inspiration shows me that life moves beyond the physical, mental and emotional planes. It is my goal to manifest the received impulses in a physical shape and integrate my personal thoughts and feelings with what the piece of wood has to offer. Developing my own spirituality and personal growth is my contribution, knowing that what manifests in my work can stimulate other people and thus influence them. Very early I discovered wood to be “my material”. I love to engage in a dialogue with part of a tree. Its long history and character inspire me. So the work process becomes a joint venture in search of a new, unique expression. I frequently participate in sculpting symposiums all over the world. Working side by side with other sculptors, experiencing different approaches, views and at the same time different regions and countries, have become a source of inspiration and enjoyment. During the last 2 years I have experimented with ice sculpting as well which is capturing my interest.
