After my studies, I started working in a factory where they produced lamps, but it wasn't for me so I gave up.
I started working with my father, when I began to use a blowtorch to work with glass and discovered what I liked to do. I learned from him and alongside shared hours and hours of attempts and disappointments, but also of successes and satisfaction.
Glass is a difficult material to work with, especially when you start using processes that had never been done before. In the 80s, I had an intuition – to reproduce the work of the furnace in my laboratory with the sole help of my blowpipe, and it was in this way that I began to blow and produce lampwork which until then had been the dominion of large industries.
Today, I proudly call myself a master of this technique, and I continue to study it in order to renew my knowledge every day.
