I spent a good part of my life living in a big city.
I worked for many years in a bank.
Over time, I felt the increased monotony of the job consuming my life. Which although it kept me materially, frustrated me more and more.
Driven by that, in my thirties, I gathered enough strength to break away from that life and give myself the opportunity to find a way to project my creative impulses.
I left the city, my comfortable but frustrating job, and came to live in Frigiliana, and here, far from what had been blocking me, I discovered the world of wood.
From the beginning I felt a great illusion unfolding before me. No matter how many hours I spent making my pieces, it didn’t feel like work. I enjoyed it more and more.
I was surviving from sales, giving the best of myself.
My creativity soared and bought me many happy moments.
Unfortunately, 20 years later, an economic crisis forced me to close my workshop,
but the joy of creating I discovered, has stayed with me, lives inside me, and has become part of my life.
