... Indeed, this technique begins with the melting of the sand in fire, then gives birth to
glass, which then offers new nobility by the embrace of metal. This perfect symbiosis
between glass and metal is an enchantment to the eye covering the soul of the beholder
with comfort and warmth.
Rendered on glossy or frosted glass, colored or clear metallic ornaments, these images
are often inspired by nature. Notice the figures of trees, branches and leaves, the blend
of grass and bushes and fruits that please. Witness how together, they create in a stylized
manner various compositions. On other pieces, non-figurative or geometrical elements
inform the objects with elegance and refinement.
See the gift of love and warmth the artist has brought to his creation! First caressing and
molding the shape of the glass. Then imprisoning it and finally, in a corselet of metal
offers the many shapes and colors.
The result is what you behold on the table, on the chest of drawers, on the shelves of
your library or on your fireplace. What better companion to hold the flowers you received
from a very special person? Consider the champagne or wine glass, whose metallic
ornaments reflect your living room, always eager to generously offer you, with a kingly
glow, the nectar that pleases you so. Notice the chandelier that discreetly lightens your
festive table, and take pleasure in the fruit bowl, now bearing the gifts of the trees or of
the earth.
These are just thoughts flowing from my artist's mind , when I started meditating over
what I had created! Actually we, artists, don't know how to speak about what we do: we
just do it!
