Introducing
Artistic Approach
Welcome to my portfolio,
where creativity and hands-on expression come together.
Join me on a journey where dance transforms into visual art.
For me, artistic and manual expression is a way to explore the human experience. Using dance as a starting point, I translate movement into visual creations, aiming to develop a psycho-somatic visual therapy that expands artistic boundaries.
My goal is to merge dance and visual art, capturing the emotions, freedom, and sensuality of movement and expressing them through meaningful artworks.
At the core of my work is the belief in the social identity of an artist and the need to resist consumerism.
My mission is to share meaningful artistic expression while raising awareness of both national and global culture through exhibitions, teaching, and workshops that offer an alternative to the fleeting nature of consumer society.
My artistic process often begins with drawing groups of dancers, primarily those practicing Contact Improvisation, but also Acro Yogis. These drawings evolve into larger creations—simplified cut-out shapes in aluminum used as wall hangings, mobiles, or sculptures.
I also model in plasticine or wax, transforming these into aluminum or bronze sculptures with abstract, rhythmic, and anthropomorphic forms.
I am passionate about integrating eco-consciousness into my work, using recycled and upcycled materials to spark creativity and transformation. I also host workshops that blend visual arts, drawing, and dance, encouraging collaboration and sustainable artistic practices.
My vision extends to creating large-scale public art by working with architects, designers, foundries, and municipalities to design sustainable sculptural installations that enhance shared spaces.
My portfolio includes drawings, cutouts, sculptures, and even prototype costumes for performance, all reflecting a unique fusion of dance and visual arts.
