Sculpting stories through space and human connection

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the way people interact with their environments. We all have this invisible relationship with the spaces around us; how architecture shapes our emotions, our behaviors, and even our sense of belonging. This fascination has guided my journey as a sculptor, blending the human form with architectural elements to tell stories about connection, isolation, and the spaces in between.

Where it all began

My love for sculpture is deeply rooted in my architectural background. I’ve always seen buildings not as static objects but as living frameworks, constantly evolving as people move through them. Working with architects like Renzo Piano and Jean Nouvel has taught me to appreciate how materiality, form and function come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts. That experience left an imprint on how I approach my art today.

When designing my settings, I often begin with abstracted structures such as skeletal forms, perforated panels, and platforms. For me, these aren’t just design choices; they are metaphors; representing the way our surroundings shape us, how spaces influence our lives in ways both seen and unseen.

The human touch

At the centre of my work is the human figure. I’m drawn to it because it’s so deeply expressive; a vessel for emotion, movement and connection. Each gesture, each posture in my sculptures is deliberate. I want people to feel like they’ve walked into a story, to imagine the lives of the figures and the relationships they have with their surroundings.

When I sculpt, I consider themes of curiosity, isolation, and interaction. How do we connect with others in a world that can sometimes feel so structured, so rigid? The contrast between the fluidity of the human form and the solidity of architecture helps me explore those questions.

Inspirations that guide me

I’ve always admired artists who seamlessly combine different disciplines. Isamu Noguchi’s ability to blend sculpture, architecture, and landscape speaks directly to my heart; a relevant reminder of how interconnected everything is. Louise Nevelson’s work with found objects has also been a huge inspiration. The idea of transforming everyday materials into something transcendent resonates with me.

While modernism and minimalism resonate with me, I’m equally influenced by contemporary architecture and design. I like to think my work sits at the intersection of these ideas, bridging the past with the present.

Playing with light, colour and emotion

Light and transparency are two of my essential elements. There’s something magical about how they can make a space feel alive, almost as if it’s breathing. I use these tools to blur the lines between structure and openness, between connection and separation.

Colour is deeply personal to me. I use it not just to catch the eye but to evoke emotion. A warm tone might symbolize vitality or intimacy, while cooler hues create a mood of contemplation or distance. By layering colors and textures, I try to capture that tension—the duality of feeling connected yet apart, vibrant yet still.

My vision

Ultimately, my sculptures are about connection. They’re an invitation to pause, to reflect on how we relate to the spaces we inhabit and to the people we share them with. I want my work to feel like a conversation; between figure and structure, light and shadow, presence and absence.

Every piece I create is personal, a reflection of my curiosity about the world and my belief that art can help us see it a little differently.
