My main inspiration is the gaze of human beings where I see the essence of life reflected. It is the mirror, which reveals us the intrinsic characteristics of the men and women’s thoughts. In the same way, I feel captivated by the body vitality in motion. For this reason, in the most recent collection I use the figures saved in my mind as main performers in the existence reinterpretation.

This work composed of several symbols recalls the origins and values ​​of the human being. For example, the shells that in Greek and Roman myths referred to the source of life. In this sense, It is said that we all come from the sea and the shell reminds us the birth humanity.  On the other hand, the shells are a gift from the sea, the waves that carry them to the shore reveal to us a part of the secrets of life. It is a way of feeling part of the universe.
