"My fascination with flying inspired me to become a line pilot, but from a young age, I also felt a strong urge to create. I loved dreaming, drawing, and building, often repurposing materials. Eventually, I found a way to combine my passion for flying with my artistic pursuits, creating sculptures and drawings. Both the mechanical aspects and the poetry of nature, as well as human technology, serve as a source of inspiration and are reflected in my work.

Creations such as the Landvis and the Flying Turtle explore humanity's impact on the environment. I often address the concept of Homo Deus—the notion of humans playing God, altering animals, and rewriting a new chapter in their evolution to ensure survival in a constantly changing world.

My sculptures are made from high-density clay or polystyrene, finished with epoxy and various coatings. I also duplicate them using silicone molds filled with expansion foam. I work with all sorts of materials I can find, ranging from antique toys to bicycle parts and RC modeling components. Like nature’s creations, each piece I make is unique and continues to evolve over time."
