I live ceramics with fascination and obsession. I am fascinated by the language of the earth, the ability of fire to define form and time.
I am obsessed by being one more element of this magma, leaving a temporary mark, intervening ...
Being where the eye is located as an objective, the mind as a subjective screen.

He elaborates objects by applying the techniques of "Metallic Chandeliers" in limited series or unique pieces with the implicit intention of conditioning individual or collective living spaces.
