Forming without conception, beyond the thinking mind - 'non-conceptual art'
I don't 'know' what I'm doing. Or even: 'I' am doing nothing. Creation is happening. By its own. I'm just giving the space for it. And this process is as easy as passionate...
But sometimes the source of my inspiration is showing up in my consciousness. It's the same power you see at work in all of nature, on the energetic level. That's why I use to call my sculptures 'non-conceptual', or 'organic' or even 'archetypal forms'. And as these inspirations are emerging in my mind, they may take on some caracteristics of my own constitution, or some soul-quality may incarnate in them and give the work its specific drawing...
My advice for the watcher would be: look at them with your heart, not with your mind. This way, you may open a new dimension of perception, much closer to life than mind can ever be...

This is my first sculpture. The piece of wood was a big branche from a walnut-tree standing in my garden. I took it back in the workshop in 2026, to refine the surface with techniques I didn't have at the time.
This striking sculpture, titled 'Gentle Exploration of a female form,' captures the essence of organic beauty. Crafted from rich cherry wood and grounded on a maple base, this piece showcases meticulous carving techniques. The natural cracks within the cherry wood have been thoughtfully filled with vibrant red resin, creating a stunning jewel-like contrast against the wood's warmth. The inner layer, treated with resin, possesses a unique hardness, adding an intriguing textural dimension to the artwork. The maple base, finished in a deep black shellac, provides a stable and elegant foundation.
The artist's exploration of the female form is both abstract and figurative, resulting in a harmonious composition that invites contemplation. This bust-like sculpture evokes a sense of gentle discovery, that speaks to the enduring allure of the human figure, rendered with a sensitivity to both form and material.

This striking sculpture, "Non-Conceptual Form No. 124 (The Two Citizens)," is a masterful carving from aspen wood. The artist has skillfully embraced the natural beauty of the wood, creating an organic form that feels both ancient and contemporary. The deep cracks are not flaws but intentional features, dramatically filled with vibrant red resin, adding a bold, unexpected element to the piece.
The flowing, upright figures suggest a dialogue or connection between two entities, evoking a sense of shared existence and perhaps a playful still life captured in solid form. The inspiration draws from the very essence of form and presence, presenting a figurative subject that invites contemplation on duality and interaction. It’s a piece that speaks to the viewer, sparking imagination and interpretation.
This large-scale sculpture is a piece of art that brings a dynamic energy and a touch of refined artistry into your home.
