ARTIST STATEMENT :

''I CREATE TO EXPLORE, DISCOVER  AND PLAY . BE IT THRUOGH MOVING & NOT MOVING IMAGES, I EXPERIMENT AND WORK INTUITIVELY MIXING AND COMBINING DIFFERENT MEDIUMS AND MATERIALS. LISTENING WITH MY EYES AND LOOKING WITH MY EARS, I ENGAGE MY WHOLE BODY AND SENSES. I AM GUIDED BY MY CURIOSITY AND WANDER OF WHERE THE PROCESS WILL TAKE ME. I REMAIN ONLY A PRESENT WITNESS TO WHATEVER IS UNFOLDING .''
