Curriculum Vitae

‘On behalf of my beliefs I am a passenger in a current time and space, open to appearing thoughts, creating ideas, collecting pieces for artistic work, which is quivering minds. The unknown thrills me and inspires me, in the same moments gives me infinite time of questioning and uncertainty. Through my own sensations I feel, sense, breathe a music, art creation, which I am transforming in concrete, raw material / piece with a hope that you will sense, feel and relive it as well. Living empathy and changing for better now. But mostly I think I am.’
