One-of-a-Kind Bronze Sculpture
First shaped in wax, then cast in solid bronze. Sand-polished, patina-finished, and set on a marble base. Every curve is intentional. Every surface tells a story.

Artist Statement
The human form is my starting point; distorted, abstracted, and re-imagined. I exaggerate lines and tension to explore strength, vulnerability, and motion. My latest series strips the figure down to its essence: clean, minimal forms that still carry weight and presence.
Each sculpture begins as a simple drawing. I translate that two-dimensional idea into a three-dimensional form, manipulating materials until the energy feels right. I think in shape, in impact, in emotion. Sometimes the work is joyful and elegant. Other times, it’s raw - an honest reflection of struggle, pain, and resilience.

This is how I live as an artist. Through metal. Through form. Through feeling.
