One of the participants in the workshop I held in Vienna wrote on the back of a picture she sent me as a souvenir: "the bamboos and the kites don’t leave my mind".

I have decided to create this site to diffuse the work I do with bamboo, which was driven by the pleasure to create clean and differentiated forms.

Here you will see some of the pieces that I produce with very simple tools, as well as some other issues related to my work and the reasons that led me to discover the handicraft work, after being involved with technical activities for so many years.

 
It is worth pointing out that I don't sell any piece that I make. However, I really like to show them for people that apreciate the bamboo work.

I hope you are included in this group of people.

Now you are my guest.
