​
A visual artist who works with bronze, stone, wood, mixed media, chocolate and does not limit himself to any medium, technique and shape. The exploration is the journey, which brings him into unexplored areas and self-discoveries. He sails between 2D-visuals the classical way of drawings on paper or digital, 3D-sculptures and ends up often even in the field of Science.
