"I feel captivated by the human form, its proportionality, its plasticity, and its movement. The human figure reflects the passion and moral tension which inhabits our soul; our beauty and ugliness, our simplicity and complexity. Although I use abstraction to convey certain ideas and feelings, form is a key element in my work".
