Shaping spaces with form, abstraction & light. 

I create large-scale objects for walls, ceilings, or floors, using abstract, repeating geometric patterns, subtle colors, and light.

These elements have a unique ability to captivate and connect with people on a deeper level. 

For this reason, they form the building blocks of my work, through which I craft lightworks that captivate viewers and transform spaces.

I use primarily 3D printing, computer-controlled machines, acrylics, and casting resins, alongside a wide range of other materials and techniques. Besides that, I love learning new things and i’m always exploring new approaches to expand my creativity and process.

My artistic journey began unexpectedly while studying real estate and volunteering as a lighting technician in a small theater. The ambiance of light in that space captivated me instantly. Although I graduated as a real estate broker, I pursued training as a lighting technician and worked in theater for several years. Searching 
for more and longer lasting creativity, I completed a four-year degree in Spatial and Product Design at an art academy. After a small intermezzo, I launched my own business, focusing on creating lightworks.
