THE CIRCLE IS ROUND
My artistic career started with ceramics.
Clay is a wonderful medium and I loved to work with it specially the turning wheel.
I spend hours to master the art of turning and I think that behind this turning wheel my fascination with round objects started.
After 10 years of ceramics I started to liberate myself and moved on to hand made shapes , human body, figure modelling, at first realistic but soon I searched for my own signatures and abstracted shapes.
A wonderful exhibition Bodywise in Manhattan NY made me realise for the first time I was an artist and started to behave accordingly. Liberating myself from the classes I followed at The SUNY university and worked on my own.
I wished sometimes I had lived earlier as I felt very connected with real Abstractionism Picasso, Max Ernst, Paul Klee Henry Moore were /are my heros.
But also the search for new materials became one of my assets, Bronze ,Stainless steel, Polyureathane,
Resins and as so often after a simple coincidence I bumped into Zink and these sheets made me work in a completely new way.
