My work takes the raven as its symbolic starting point. It represents, allegorically, a personal, sustained internal feeling. The raven, with its intense black colour, reflects the dark space somewhere deep inside, a calm place, an untouchable piece of solitude but also a source of energy. Thus, my work focuses on black and its reflections or shades, highlighted by compositions of different structures and materials. The materials and forms are chosen intuitively, then worked on consciously ­­to evoke the atmosphere and feeling of the raven. The result offers a somewhat unconventional insight into the symbol of the raven, with a trace of the stories that penetrate the intimate space of inner experience.
