What are the most essential components of your artistic practice?

I don't have the most important components. I am looking for new ones. My job is to search and find what a matter hides what its secrets and mysteries say.

How do you interact with space when creating a project?

Space plays a big role. The sculpture has to connect with it and be one. The viewer also plays a role with his presence and movement.

What is the role of text in developing images?

The text- what I have read, heard is somewhere in the subconscious. In most cases I dream them.

What reaction do you attempt to provoke in your audience through your work?

I would like the viewer to enter an atmosphere unknown to them, to have a global feeling of everything, not just one thing. In my last exhibition the viewers said : "What a light how joyful!"

What is the role of the research approach in contemporary art?

There is research in contemporary art as well as in the sciences. I think I don't research I feel and anticipate.
