About his art the sculptor said: “A sculpture is not created from an illusion. It is a transformation of light, space and substance into distance tangible forms. These latest collections of works are born from the treasure of Mother Earth but sculpted to manifest familiar images from our daily lives. As I reflect on my early life, I draw inspiration from the time when we are all helpless, when we must depend on the kindness of our parents to nurture us. In this same regard Mother Earth is constantly nurturing her children. There is a power that is especially visible in the development of all planets. I have expressed the symbolic relationship that exists between Mother Nature and humans.”
