"Unlike various other art forms, with glasswork it is essential for the participant to use his sense of touch".

"I encourage my audience to have a real encounter with each piece: I want them to touch it, to caress it, and to understand the shapes and movements. Simply, I want the enthusiast to experience what I feel for my art passion and love."
