Statement:
I believe that art should be contemporary and thus reflect the times in which we live. At the same time, I believe that art should refer to history, specifically the history of modernism. Though many artists today are interested in doing narrative work, I am not and am instead interested simply in conveying the idea of beauty. That’s why I create objects characterized by their strong colors, formal grace and delicate movements.
