"The practice of art should have an effect not only on the public, but even more importantly, on the artist himself, by enlarging his sphere of freedom....Each picture is valuable only insofar as it contributes to his development, because it enables the artist to go on in a freer, larger way to his next picture" Wolf Kahn |
Welcome to my site! Here you will find references to the technique of marquetry and its history, my curriculum vitae, photographs of my work, what I'm doing now, plus a lot of links to art and marquetry sites. The explanation of ideas intents to be accurate enough to dissipate what I believe are misconceptions -i.e.: art or craft, age of the technique, details in the evolution of marquetry, etc.- and, thus, to contribute to a better understanding of this medium.. |
