"i was fascinated by the simplicity in which people lived, while still being very beautiful, and very soft, and with a great sense of comfort using almost nothing at all. Materials are indispensable for me. I am a very tactile person, I like brutalism in a sense. I like raw materials, but I also like the ways you can use them. How you can go from a rough stone to a polished one."

" ...they are all objects (all the architectural projects, high rise or house) it's just a matter of mastering scale..."

"... I don't want things to be too clear, I want to provoke infinite curiosity. I want people to be more and more curious, b/c that means that there are still many things I can show, and many things I can tell them and life is like that, it's infinite. and fortunately, it's that way b/c that's what beauty is, what strength is, what energy is. That's what gives me the desire and the strength to continue. I like suprises... I like that my work evokes emotions. For me it is important to be timeless, infinite..."
