Artist statement
I’m searching for love, and wanting love just like any other human being. My heart
was broken once, but it never stopped me from believing in love. There are many
memories that I have kept in my heart. Among them are stories of heartbreak,
self-healing, and of finding love again on this journey. I always keep my feelings
deep down inside of me, but I’m desperate to find a way to express them.
Creating art has become my language in telling these stories.
I love letting my imagination run crazy. I create different cute characters that live
in a fantasyland. They play out the real lives of my friends and I, but in a different
world. Some of my works are based on sad memories, but still, I choose to make
my art playful and colorful to express my belief in love. I always draw before I start
sculpting, because I enjoy creating whimsical worlds inhabited by odd creatures. I
like to translate these drawings into clay and metal sculptures that capture my
imagination.
Pain, recovery and loving again is not only my concept and my own story, it is
something that happens to everyone. I started by telling my personal experiences,
but after hearing other peoples’ stories, I realize that there is more to tell. No
matter if those memories are painful or happy, they all show our true heart and
this makes our stories meaningful, beautiful and special. That is why I want to tell
these tales, not only to create something fun and to express my feelings, but also
to find the unique memories kept in everyone’s hearts and to share them through
my sculpture.
