In glass I capture my feeling as a materialised moment. For me glass is
a mass – non-mass, a moment, which is and is not, which lasts and
fades. The exceptionality of glass as a medium lies in its depth, in its
interior space I work with, I create the architecture of inner space in
a solid mass with optical properties. I exploit the properties of glass,
which does not enclose the inner space trough its transparency, but only
defines it, enabling me to express in one distinct form a multitude of
thoughts and feelings. In my work I make use of the characteristics of
depth, reflection, and as a sculptor, I model the inner space in the defined
mass. I do not follow the path of fourth dimension. Even though working
in glass enables diverse views which I perceive and accept as a sculptor,
for me the simplicity and purity of form in creation is a priority, and
the essential thing is to work with the depth of space. Therefore, to
structure my works, I use pure geometrical shapes, such as prisms, hemispheres,
cubes in the proportion of the golden cut..., which emphasese the inner
drawing through their purity. The minimalist form of shape which competes
not with the architecture of inner space. Glass as a unique material allows
me to express thousands of ideas and thoughts in one form, to fill the
volume with conceptual and aesthetic contents. The knowledge of this medium
enables me, through sensitive touches, to instil my individual style and
originality into that wonderful material.
Glass allows
me to write poems, I am like a poet who writes in glass, thoughts as an
icy sun which shines and dims at a certain moment, a freezing wind which
blows, cools for a moment, a frosty echo...
The eyes, though icy or blue, are the gates to the body.
