I don't begin with sculpture. I begin with what a space is missing. I create spatial solutions through interior-scale and monumental sculpture that strengthen the identity of commercial properties and private residences. My approach is shaped by architecture, the contemporary art market, and my family's sculptural practice.  I combine experience in commercial architecture, studio practice, and formal education in spatial design, art, and business — allowing me to see each project as a cohesive structure where aesthetics, function, and economics are inseparable. From the first site analysis to final installation, I guide every stage of the process to ensure each sculpture belongs to its space.  When integrated this way, it becomes more than an artistic element — it becomes an enduring part of the property's identity and long-term value.

Who I Work With




DEVELOPERS
I help integrate contemporary sculpture into residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, creating a distinctive spatial identity. Early in the design process, I assess the spatial potential for sculpture, propose artistic concepts and, when needed, coordinate their implementation with the project team.


ARCHITECTS
I complement the expertise of architects and designers with specialist knowledge of sculpture. I source artists and artworks, create visualisations for client presentations, assess feasibility, and, when needed, support the acquisition, fabrication, and installation process. 


PRIVATE CLIENTS
I help select sculptures for interior and exterior spaces, considering the architectural context and each client's personal preferences. I source existing artworks or guide the commissioning of bespoke pieces, coordinating delivery and installation.

2. Concept & Vision 
Developing the artistic strategy, presenting curatorial proposals, and aligning the preliminary budget.

3. Selection & Spatial Integration 
Selection of existing sculptures or commissioning site-specific works, with the preparation of the necessary visual and technical materials for their integration into the architectural project, followed by final budget approval.

4. Implementation & Oversight 
Management of sculpture production or acquisition, technical coordination of logistics and installation. Final documentation and certificates of authenticity.
