I started to devote myself to wood and woodcarving only when I reached adulthood. In my youth I was only drawing.

Apparently the artistic genes that I inherited from my father, who painted in his youth, and from his grandfather, who was an artistic carpenter, awoke in me. Over time, and thanks to several exhibitions, my work has expanded through sculptures, sculptures and nativity scenes by turning things, wooden jewelry to the production of carved antique furniture components. Because I have no carving education, I feel like an eternal pupil, but I like challenges that always move me a bit further in my work.

In woodcarving I prefer to work with lime, which I usually color differently.Carving and woodworking remains a hobby for me even after these years. It`s a job where I can rest and recharge my batteries. Therefore, I approach each of my creations with the utmost feeling and try to put a piece of my self into it.

I hold a certificate of finishing wood finishes - metallization, gilding, polychromy and shellac.
