Contemporary Aphrodite

For centuries, art was the solution that showed us how to live and helped us to find fixed values in this chaotic world. My sculptures are vessels that I fill with emotions and desires: the joy of encounter, heat of the setting sun, or yearning for what might be. They always contain a part of myself, a fragment of my life. Facing this captured moment and emotion, you are invited to enter another dimension, one free of the chaos of the onrushing reality. It’s where you have a chance to discover harmony and distance yourself from the surrounding world.
