"2I believe that art is not merely a sight to behold, but a projection of an inner journey. In my creations, I seek the unrepeatability of the moment and the vibrations of the soul—whether it is through taming precious metals with fire in the Aura technique or the depth of finely shaded portraits engraved into glass.

For me, art is an experiment: a balance on the edge of control and letting go. I do not strive for perfection, but for honesty. Every line, every burn, and every polish is a dialogue with the material, where my own inner world takes form.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for allowing my world to meet yours for a moment.

AURA – The Dance of Fire and the Control of the Moment

For me, creation begins where certainty ends. The Aura technique is not merely a meeting of leaf foil and flame; it is a continuous inner play between control and letting go.

When the flame touches the pure radiance of the precious metal, an unpredictable process begins. It holds the excitement of childhood: the moment when I do not strive for perfection, but allow the material to respond to me. Under the influence of heat, the canvas moves—becoming convex, then bending, as if it has begun to breathe.

It is a constant crossing of boundaries: I let it catch fire, then tame the blaze with water. I stifle the fire, only to give it a new path. In this rhythm, the piece is born: the dramatic contrast between the dark, charred depths and the untouched glow of gold.

Every creation is an unrepeatable ritual, where the freedom of losing control and the tension of creative will condense upon the canvas. Aura is not just a sight—it is the harnessed energy that ignites at the moment of rebirth.
