Pájaro is made from solid 150 year old wooden beams that once supported the roof of a now demolished mansion in Amsterdam.
I was and am, looking for something.
A material, a shape or a story that could make me stop thinking too much and trigger me to feel something and act on it. An impulse that could give me direction and makes me curious about my surroundings and the time I’m living in.
Our society produces a lot and our eyes get distracted by the many objects we create. I find meaning in my artistic practice to filter these ‘distractions’ and turn them into a pure and minimal object or thought that leads to new works and insights.
Creating, for me, is a way to interact with on one hand architectural and interior spaces and on the other; objects that can both question and reinforce each other. I believe that the objects we live with and that surround us (tables, chairs or even the spaces that contain them) can be more than just functional items. I try to reshape them into something dualistic and emotive.
