My passion for wheel-throwing is the driving force behind my creations. My work includes both functional objects and decorative pieces, in which I strive for a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics. Every piece I make reflects my love for the artisanal tradition of pottery.

The wheel-throwing technique allows me to create with my hands and bring clay to life. For me, the process is both meditative and challenging, and I enjoy the interaction between the clay and my creativity. My functional pieces are designed to be used and cherished daily, while my decorative pieces offer a visual experience that enriches the space they occupy.

One of my greatest challenges lies in working with larger formats. Exploring the limits of my technique and creating impressive, large-scale works is an adventure that continues to inspire me. My hope is that my work invites people to pause, enjoy, and appreciate the beauty of the everyday.
