This has been a 25+ years journey, and it keeps evolving! Some art work you look at and think, wow that’s awesome, I can do that. Some others, just a few of us classically trained sculptors can create. It takes years of studying human anatomy, practice, and love. So please, don’t be impressed because I work very hard at my craft, as it continually teaches me something new.
Some of my work emerges strictly from my imagination but, when I sculpt the human figure I usually hire professional art models in order to get all the minute details, but most importantly, to feel that extra inspiration I only get when I'm sculpting in the presence of another human being.
Having experience, like most artists do, massive rejection specially in the beginning, why didn’t I stopped? The truth is, sculpting is the one career which makes me feel I’m doing something well done, and at the end of the day, I feel blissfully happy.
Cheers to all dreamers, misfits, and non-conformist!
