About me

I was born in 1966 in Ljubljana, where I graduated from the Secondary School of Civil Engineering. During my mainly independent artistic career I attended numerous sculpture seminars and workshops and studied with renowned Slovenian artists such as Jože Slak and Bojan Mauser.

During the renovation of my apartment, I was trained in the art of mosaic making. I also designed the interior decoration and made furniture and other elements from solid wood. I worked with Ulrih & Co. on the renovation of an old church altar in Novo mesto, where I gained knowledge in the protection of antique wood and gilding.

I have been making mosaics and unique pieces of solid wood furniture since 1990. My products and creations have a unique and personal style.
