"My metal reliefs, which I prefer to call light reliefs and which are formed solely by the pressure of the fingers, need light instead of color in order to come to life. Polished to a mirror finish, a slight relief structure is enough to shake the calm of the light and set it in vibration. The possible beauty of these structures would be a pure expression of the beauty of light."
