She loves Greek mythology as well as African tribal art, she is interested in sculpture from the beginning of history as well as Brancusi, Giacometti or Moore. He tirelessly collects holographic images that radiate love and happiness and transforms them into visible and tangible sculptures of ideas full of sensual physical presence in his works.
