I believe that art must invent new paths in order to exist. In my case this is expressed by the ideas of formal abstraction that emerge in my designs through manipulation of simple geometry. In this realm I find myself more interested in the underlying rules that generate my designs rather than the results of them. I prefer plastic discovery through research than the figurative expression or the uncontrolled randomization. Having chosen this path I long search for all possible outcomes from this process. So far I have found close to 10,000 new forms from the first few parametric models; and will continue on this search until exhausted, either the parametric model or the artist. Is this perhaps a New Kind of Art?

My art is an adventure into the unknown world of new forms. By using parametric models I am able to create new spatial configurations based on simple rules and basic geometrical operations. This process is intriguing, exciting, captivating, stimulating, and mesmerizing. Through this exploration I am able to discover a fascinating world of new forms that do not exist until I reveal them. Every piece that I create is not an end product, but an instance on this endless journey of geometrical transformations from the initial shapes. Each sculpture is the evidence of the moment of discovery. It exists because I found it and at the same time it is the evidence that it was found.

My work is unpredictable yet controlled, random yet ruled, foreseeable yet surprising. I am delighted when I play with simple geometry to create complex forms. My interest is in finding all the possible forsms that can emerge from variations of simple parameters. Although this is a controlled process I am often surprised by what emerges from the parametric model. Each piece is an instance on a very large universe of possible designs based on geometrical variations that I control. I feel a sense of wonder and fascination by what I discover when using just simple rules and their variations. My sculptures are sophisticated, magnificent, intriguing, and above all unique.

I am inspired by natural processes that create beautiful forms like snowflakes or clouds. I believe in complexity that comes from application of simple rules. I also believe in controlling the possible variations where a myriad of new designs will emerge under the right conditions. I believe in a process where constituents are the same but each instance is a unique creation. It is an adventure into the unknown, but filled with joy at every moment.
