As part of my artistic practice, I work mainly with ceramics, exploring their possibilities as utilitarian as they are sculptural, and sometimes even at the crossroads of the two. My work seeks to convey a form of tactile and emotional sensitivity, creating pieces that awaken the senses and invite reverie. Each creation is conceived as a sensory refuge, a suspended moment into which we can slip to better escape reality.
I place great importance on the language of materials: raw or polished textures, rough or velvety surfaces, dark or luminous hues. These contrasts are all gateways to a haptic experience, where the eye, touch and sometimes the ear all contribute to the emotion, forming an immersive world. I draw my inspiration from memory, childhood and the inner landscape, in a quest for comfort, slowness and gentleness. Imagination plays a discreet but constant role, like a familiar mist that runs through the objects.
A common thread running through my work is duality. It runs through my pieces and my way of being: I seek to make softness and roughness, simplicity and tension, shadow and light, coexist. This dialogue of opposites gives my work a kind of silent, almost living presence, always in touch with the viewer. What I create is never static: they are objects to be felt, touched and tamed.
Through my work, I don't seek to impose a single interpretation. Rather, I want to offer fragments of sensations, objects that become emotional anchors, places to pause in our daily lives. My work is a call to slow down, to immerse oneself fully in the moment, to reconnect with oneself through a simple gesture, a form to be touched, a memory that resurfaces.
