It’s hard to believe, but I don’t know how to draw. For me, drawing is just a way to quickly save an idea so I don’t forget it later. I usually create inside my mind—it’s like an internal photograph of the idea. Then, I go to the studio and start making miniatures, adjusting as needed until I create the first full-scale prototype. 

I wake up very early and head to the studio, where I meet with my assistants to plan the week ahead: what pieces will be produced and what needs to be prepared. Some days are focused on heavy-duty production, where I’m involved in all the main steps of making the pieces. Other days are spent doing office work, meeting clients, and handling marketing tasks.

I like to mix materials such as wood, marble, steel, and leather, but wood has always been the protagonist. I have a deep connection with nature, and wood has fascinated me from the beginning with its variety of colors, textures, and characteristics. I enjoy learning about trees, their names, the wood they yield, and how they look. My father also influenced me—he learned woodworking from his uncle and shared his preferences and knowledge about wood with me.

I’ve been in this field for 20 years and have learned various techniques, from traditional woodworking to sculpture, along with a lot of improvisation and freehand work. Most of my creations feature organic shapes and curved edges, inviting people to touch and feel the beauty of the wood.
