A Word from the Creator

I do not belong to the group of people who draw a line between life and creation.

The way I choose, combine, question, and transform space stems from the same inner need—to add something of my own to the world I find around me.

I do not create new worlds.
I strive to see, once again, the world we have stopped looking at.

For me, aesthetics has never been a matter of beauty. It is a way of translating the inner self into the visible—allowing energy, intuition, and restlessness to find their form.

I do not create objects to fill a space. I create them to give a space identity and authenticity.

02 / First Original Collection

Mire

Functional objects at the intersection of art, material, and space. Each piece carries the trace of the process through which it was shaped.

Limen

lat. threshold, boundary

Sculptural table

SPECIFICATION: A composite of slowly dehydrated salt and resin, glass fibers, polyester resin, and wood.

DIMENSIONS: 125 × 77 × 40 cm

Between darkness and light, a space emerges in which existence finds its meaning.

The threshold... the place where meaning takes form.

Aletheia

gr. truth, unconcealment

Sculptural table

SPECIFICATION: A composite of marble powder, glass fibers, acrylic plastic, metal leaf, and wood.

DIMENSIONS: 143 × 67 × 35 cm

Reality is not exhausted by the visible.

Depth opens another dimension of existence. A space in which reality transcends its own appearance. There, the familiar ceases to be.

Truth... unfinished reality.

Concordia

lat. harmony, unity

Chest of drawers

SPECIFICATION: 1,926 strips of cardboard, cut and finished by hand, joined into a solid reinforced structure; liquid bronze, wood, and fabric.

DIMENSIONS: 196 × 66 × 90 cm

Strength and stability do not arise from matter.

Every true form owes its existence to a process in which time becomes its strongest structure.

Wholeness... the highest form of harmony.

Essentia

lat. essence

Sculptural table

SPECIFICATION: A composite of 100 kg of slowly dehydrated salt and epoxy resin.

DIMENSIONS: 206.5 × 81 × 83 cm

Purity is not the absence of excess, but the presence of silence. Essence does not seek attention.

It belongs not to appearance, but to existence.

Essence is not observed; it is held in silence...

Anima

lat. breath of life, soul

Lamp

SPECIFICATION: Concrete, metal painted using a nitro technique and fired, and gold-colored metal leaf.

DIMENSIONS: 250 × 70 cm

The paradox of heavy, lifeless matter joined with the fragile spark of life.

Force shapes matter. The spark sets existence in motion.

The spark... the quiet origin of strength.

Poiesis

gr. bringing into existence

Sculptural blocks

SPECIFICATION: Composite blocks made of glass fibers and polyester resin, clad in gold-colored metal leaf.

DIMENSIONS: 90 × 40 × 40 cm

Matter determines the boundaries of the possible. Art changes the boundaries of the real.

Appearance becomes equal to truth.

Creation... where matter transcends itself.

I do not create objects to fill a space. I create them to give the space identity and authenticity.

My path did not begin as a deliberate decision, but rather as a natural extension of the need to express my own worldview. That is why I never sought ready-made answers. I chose the harder path—a journey of trial and error, fresh starts, and knowledge gained through personal experience.

My work does not belong to any single style or movement. A common thread runs through these diverse forms: a need for freedom, a lack of fear regarding dissonance, and trust in the unproven.

I am not interested in belonging to a recognizable movement.
I am interested in the possibility of forging my own language.

For me, artistic creation is not a profession.
It is a way of being.
