„My pottery is intuitive, I follow the course of personal intuition in approaching different topics, my works are reactions to social and personal experiences. I like to think that the idea prevails and drive the plastic realisation, ceramics is used as a medium to materialize my intuitions and observations. Art is meant to open new windows, to enlarge the universe of people interacting with it.“
