Artist Statement:

The basic idea of my work is to create objects that have a very special meaning for their wearer like an amulet or a talisman. Every piece should define itself by this meaning and its individual shape regardless of its material value.

My favorite material is stainless steel because of its robustness, its special colour and the softness of its surface.
