I found that glass was the material for me. What attracts me about glass is to feel the viscosity and sensuality of it in its molten state.The luxury in working with glass is to realize whatever comes to my mind, whatever structure or color or shape I might want to see. The challenge is the continuous discovery of new technical skills in its combination with poetry and creativity
