Sculptures: Artist Statement

"My sculptures evoke a sense of magic and mystery, rooted in the natural world and the timelessness of myth. Each piece is a quiet embodiment of feminine presence, delicate yet powerful, introspective yet engaging. Crafted in hues of green and copper, the materials themselves reflect a conversation between earth and spirit, decay and transformation, growth and memory.

These figures emerge as mythological beings, part human, part nature, with faces that recall the women of old stories, and bodies that blur into leaf-like forms and horned silhouettes. Their shapes are abstracted, echoing the forest’s wild elegance and the surreal symbolism found in Eastern European fairy tales that shaped my imagination as a child. Stories like Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid continue to resonate with me, especially the archetypal expressions of femininity, innocent yet self-aware, searching yet grounded.

Through these sculptures, I explore a feminine sensibility and identity that is multifaceted and mythic. They stand not as passive figures, but as contemplative beings, inviting the viewer into their world of reflection. There is a quiet strength in their presence, an invitation to connect, to remember, and to see oneself mirrored in the otherworldly gaze of the feminine divine."
