My work consist of two means of expression: sculpture and drawing. Even though both disciplines are linked by their formal vocabulary: line, form and colour, I consider them as two separate entities. Each work carries notions of space and movement, rhythm and energy, concept and form and aspire to articulate those fields of our experience that remain before or after verbalization. They are about inner landscapes, individual time, architecture of emotions. In order to express tensions and subtleties of these abstract notions, I use iron, which carries a complex historical reminiscence, and with its natural colour acts, in space as a drawing in charcoal does on paper.
