"Lost in the woods. Where I lose myself and find my art."

 

Trees have always spoken to me—their individuality, their hidden stories revealed in grain and color. Each tree grows in its own way, carrying a distinct narrative within. What fascinates me most is the beauty revealed through grain patterns, hues, and even the subtle fragrances of wood. My work as a wood artist is devoted to bringing these stories to life.

 

Through segmented wood vessels, I explore the interplay of form and pattern. By combining multiple species—each with its own character—I create designs that no single wood could achieve alone. This process allows me to craft intricate, layered narratives that invite each viewer to connect in their own way.

 

Every vessel is a labor of love, often requiring weeks and up to 100 hours of meticulous work. I begin by envisioning a shape, then designing a pattern that harmonizes with it. Each piece of wood is milled to precise thickness, cut to exact dimensions, and joined one by one. Some vessels contain more than 3,000 individual pieces, all assembled without lasers or CNC machines—only patience, handwork, and respect for the material.

 

The result is more than an object; it is a collaboration with nature, a celebration of its hidden beauty, and a reminder that even the smallest fragments can come together to form something extraordinary. Each finished vessel makes me smile, because it carries both the story of the tree and the story of my hands.
