Artist
Buba Studio
My objects reflect some traditional techniques with contemporary style. I want to celebrate the handmade qualities and the imperfections in production processes as a source of variety and visual interest. A close relationship with nature and its elements is an omnipresent source of my inspiration.
Nature is essential in the current work, which induces an unlimited world that delights the senses by the strangeness of its borders. In this space-time, that is both frozen and totally open, the viewer’s gaze is a component. As an artist, I project my inner world into it, just as I escape from it through contemplation, forgetting myself in the infinite meanders of a sometimes-transfigured nature.
Studio Buba is also close to my personal life. “Buba”, Beetle, is the nickname of my youngest daughter. In ancient Egypt, Khepri the Scarab Beetle represents a meaning “to come into existence”. I want to give the impression that my creations oscillate between natural lifeforms and precious materials. They should comfort & inspire and seduce the viewer. As an artist my work is rooted in a deep understanding and appreciation of nature hoping that i can achieve a harmonious order like in nature.
