To me working on the stone is the joy of peeling an
unknown fruit, a period of spiritual regeneration, and visualization
of vision of an utopian, with a harmoniously lucid effort to sunder the
shackles of aesthetic subjectivism.
Being nectar of life, fluidity naturally appears in my
stone carvings. More often than not, my sculptures point to a distant
unknown destination, in elastic ethereal space. Without this continuity
in space my sculptures are not complete.
Longing for spiritual regeneration, flight from the
stone takes birth, struggling hard; like struggle of a foetus to loose
tight strands of a narrow outlet. These stones reveal the very act of
creation, that is one of the ways of ascertaining highest ability of a
human being.
