I was lucky enough to live in Kintai and study at the local art school where a metal artist was one of the teachers. So I developed useful and practical techniques for metalwork. Another reason was that my older sister also chose to be a jewellery maker.

For my medallions I use the technique of etching with nitric acid. To obtain a special texture, I cover some areas with varnish, then add acid. Later, I clean everything up and repeat it elsewhere. For my Circles collection I use Gaboon ebony, an extremely hard tree that was used by the Egyptian pharaohs.

The process of my personal improvement. I constantly challenge myself. Looking at my past works, I see my improvement and I see what I want to achieve in the future.

When I can look at it and feel proud. When it makes me smile. Over 14 years of work, I have noticed that if I'm happy with the work, I clean up my workspace and take a look at the creation again in a clean environment.
