My Story

"After years devoted to family, our family business, and a background in mathematics and computer science, I found my way back to my first love - art.

Creative expression has been part of my life since childhood. I painted for many years, but it wasn't until I discovered ceramics that everything seemed to come together. For a long time, I felt I was searching for the thing that truly connected with who I am. That's when I knew I had found my path."

My Art

"My work is rooted in the idea of Movement in Stillness - capturing a moment suspended in time, where a gesture, a feeling, or a movement is held just before it changes. Inspired by nature, emotions, and organic movement, I create handbuilt stoneware sculptures that explore the balance between structure and fluidity, control and spontaneity.

Each piece is shaped slowly by hand, guided by both intention and instinct. Through raw textures, refined glazes, and sculptural curves, I seek to preserve movement in a permanent state of stillness. 

I hope that when you hold one of my pieces, you feel a sense of calm, joy, and connection - because that is what art is truly meant to be."
