I create wooden sculptures with a chainsaw.
All I need to do is look at a log to imagine the shape it holds within. Often, the sculpture is already there, hidden in the wood: with imagination and patience, all I do is free it.
The chainsaw is my chisel, the tool with which I dialogue with the material. When I start it up, the wood seems to wake up, and eagles, bears, owls and roe deer come to life from a seemingly dead log. I have always been fascinated by forest animals.
In each of them, I find the strength, freedom and beauty of nature. It is this energy that I try to imprint in my sculptures: life returning to vibrate in the wood, the deep connection between man and the forest.
