ARTIST STATEMENT
“My creations begin with a dream, sometimes awake, which continues to live with the porcelain”
Fascinated by paintings and decorative arts, it is with passion that I devote myself to the art of porcelain painting for almost 20 years. I love working on white porcelain, thin and translucent, this is my favorite “canvas”. My work is detailed, yet whimsical, yet contemporary, yet mysterious, yet elegant.
Colour plays a key role in my creations. This can be an explosion of bright, vivid and contrasting colours, or a harmony of soft, vibrant and elegant ones. Precious metal, fine gold and platinum, add that touch of nobility, delicacy or even magic to my creation.
My designs begin with a dream, sometimes awake, which continues to live on, in the porcelain.
I want my creations to travel around the world. Whether they honour the finest tables or simply give pleasure, they embellish all interiors. This is how they LIVE, by giving pleasure to the person who owns, receives or gives them! It pleases me to think that the story continues with those who have one of my creations.
