After working for years in wax and resin, for the last year I've been working extensively on digital sculptures which are then 'materialized' with the technique called 'rapid manufacturing'. For me, the 3D-printing technique gives me a limitless freedom in almost instantly composing the images I have in my mind.

All the models in my portfolio are one-offs. However, models can be part of a series in which the same figure(s) is/are 'recycled', but placed in a different setting/pose/expression and or accompanying props, thus so creating an individual piece of art every time.
