My Story

I believe sculpture has the unique ability to communicate what words often cannot. Through form, movement, and symbolism, I explore the emotions and relationships that define the human experience—love, friendship, hope, vulnerability, resilience, spirituality, and our endless search for connection.

My artistic journey began with painting, but everything changed when I discovered the expressive power of three-dimensional form. Sculpture allowed me to create experiences rather than simply objects. It gave me the freedom to shape ideas that viewers can walk around, encounter, and interpret from their own perspective.

Many of my works begin with everyday observations or familiar symbols that gradually reveal deeper meanings. A couple leaning toward one another, two chairs in conversation, a rider pointing one way while the horse chooses another, punctuation marks transformed into sculpture, or a simple banana resting on a thoughtful head—these images invite viewers to smile before encouraging them to reflect. I believe humor and poetry can often express profound truths more effectively than solemnity.

Although my sculptures frequently explore love and personal relationships, my work ultimately speaks about something larger: the invisible connections that unite people beyond language, culture, religion, or geography. Whether creating an intimate bronze sculpture or a monumental public installation, I seek to celebrate our shared humanity and the possibility of empathy, dialogue, and coexistence.

The interaction between the artwork and the viewer is an essential part of my creative process. I treasure the moment when someone discovers their own story within one of my sculptures. In that instant, the work no longer belongs only to me—it becomes a shared human experience.

Over the years, my sculptures have been exhibited in museums, international biennials, galleries, and public spaces throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia, including the Venice Biennale, the Havana Biennial, the Florence Biennale, and major exhibitions organized by the European Cultural Centre. These experiences have reinforced my belief that while cultures may differ, the emotions that define us are universal.

Every sculpture I create begins with a simple question: How can this work help us understand ourselves—and each other—a little better?
