About

When I first encountered clay in Portugal, I discovered a medium that resonated deeply with my sense of form and perception. Since then, I have dedicated my practice to ceramic sculpture, portraiture, and art objects that explore the relationship between the human body and the interplay of the concrete and the abstract. 

My technical foundation was shaped through training with international masters in sculpture, ceramics and design who are based at the French Riviera, Portugal and the US. Building on this knowledge, I have developed a practice that unites craftsmanship with intuition, allowing each work to evolve through  considered and responsive process. 

At the core of my work lies an enduring belief in the significance of human presence and individuality. Through my practice in my studio, based in Austria, I aim to create works of lasting aesthetic presence that enrich the spaces they inhabit and invite a deeper engagement with art in everyday life.
