Artist's Statement

The sculptures fit into a poetic vision of the space through stylized figures and ascending lines that suggest flight, in accordance with W. Blake’s definition: flight is the world’s liberty…the bird is free air personified. The main idea of the sculptures, the Air, connects with G. Bachelard’s mention of the inexpiable nostalgia of height. They are an attempt to capture a trace of passing time caused by the wind, the rain, the earth, the human hand… The artist’s literary readings participate in the elaboration of the sculptures.
