I love working with metal, especially with copper and its alloys and with different kinds of minerals. My main sources of inspiration are history (I'm a historian), stories (mythology, literature and other fiction) and nature. Many of my works were inspired by and named after by historical people, ancient works of art (like historical pieces of jewellery, I've seen in museums or books, or architecture), mythological, literary or other fictional people or creatures and organic forms designed by the world's greatest artist - nature.
