I started to design Sculptures inspired by this area. My works of Art are abstract creations influenced by the texture of stone. Through them, I wish to echo the marvel of natural rock formations in the Barbizon Forest I contemplate around me.My fascination with ‘Light’ soon became integral part of my artistic universe. I seek to combine it with the captivating mystery of 'Nature'. Both themes 'Light and Nature' inspire my creativity in the conception of my Designer Sculptures. Through my work, I look to bring together in a delicate harmony pure airy volumes with the authentic strength of the raw material.Each one of my Light Sculptures is meticulously handcrafted. They are all made out of a natural lightweight graphic ‘rattan’ structure, on which I superimpose pieces of delicately torn silk paper. As the Sculpture evolves, I seek to play around with its intrinsic unevenness to find the hidden alchemical ‘Light’ lying at the heart of the material itself. After a lapse of time, the Sculpture will finally come to life to unveil its hidden Magic, providing the eyes with a soft, hypnotizing sensation and soothing.
