100 % self-taught

Due to his passion for the finer welding work, he was introduced by a friend into the metal art industry. A new world then opened up in which he could fully develop. He now mainly makes sculptures in stainless steel combined with bronze. He searches, collects and selects old pieces of metal. These puzzle pieces are then fitted and welded together until he is satisfied with the result. Even the faces are welded entirely by hand. A very time-consuming process but a challenge that gives him great satisfaction. This gives each sculpture its characteristic appearance, which also makes them unique.
