Intuition and encounter are important tools in my work.
I rely on intuition and encounter in many aspects of my life and in particular, with my plastic and creative work, I am a kind of collector or gleaner, gathering and treasuring all sorts of found (in a fortuitous way) and chosen (in an intuitive way) materials with which I investigate in search of plastic expressions that evoke in me visual and emotional, poetic and metaphorical sensations.
