Beauty is not a luxury but a necessity

Over the years it seems obvious to me that creation is a journey, for oneself and towards others. Nature doesn't like emptiness and it pushes me to fill something that I lack, and that the other that I don't know is waiting for.

My workshop is like a theater where the improbable rubs shoulders, cats collected on pieces in the making, plants clustered against the glass roof, a welding station which has united so many metals, a large oven for the magical fusion of glass sits in a dedicated room and so many finds accumulated, like beloved ex votos. An alchemy, fertile ground.

Arousing the emotion that stirs the imagination, conducive to relearning how to see things, my work is part of the new design as Andréa Branzi defines it, far from the constraints of production, favoring the unique piece, the prototype, sometimes the limited series.

My objects which find their place in everyday life through their function, change their own status to become sculptures, mixed jewelry, everyday friends.

Faced with the dictates of fashion, the intellectualization of forms, peremptory judgments, it is necessary for me when I work to rediscover the path to childhood, this path which makes us feel small, which brings us closer to something great. , bright, wonderful.

The idea of nature has an important place in my work, the resonance with the living world, whether through the appropriation of plant forms as a repeated or varied ornamental motif or the choice of working with natural materials (steel, glass , minerals, etc.), allows me to establish a simple and intuitive emotional dialogue.

Sounds mystical? Perhaps because “everything is Grace” and I remain filled with the feeling that “beauty will save the world”.
