Story Behind the Art:

'I have been dedicated to this art form since I was 17 years old. I realized that the more I practiced, the more this craft won me over, offering me tremendous gratification. Now I consider it a way of life. I create a variety of beautiful mirrors, coasters, boxes and trays. My designs are inspired by nature, and by traditional scenes from my town and region. I feel very proud of the works that I create, and I look forward to sharing them with more and more people around the world.'
