Artist Statement
Classical art is dying out, replaced by the consumeristic "creative entrepreneur" of the modern world. But I am not in despair, I have not lost my direction or my ideals.
The created shape of sculpture can become art and eternal charm. This lies in the essence of sculptural language. The spirit of art itself is the fusion of independent thought and humanistic spirit.
I am currently working on my sculpture series "The Moment," and building a sculpture garden, creating a world of art.
