How did you start?
My journey into intricately crafted woodworking began in 2014 when my curiosity about string art was ignited. At first, I had no workshop or tools, but my passion drove me to acquire the necessary items to practice gradually. Over the years, I’ve made my workshop into a sanctuary. There, I can lose myself in crafting, experimenting, learning, and honing my skills. Here, I create art inspired by sacred art and the golden ratio. I explore the link between 3D sacred geometry and 2D string art through a minimalist style.
Tell us about your artwork.
I focus on making shapes called Platonic solids using a technique called string art. I blend the complex world of 3D geometry with the simplicity of 2D string designs. Each piece is handmade in France, showing my commitment to accuracy and skill. I’m interested in the golden ratio and use it in all my creations to create a feeling of balance and beauty.
My art is all about connecting with the beauty of shapes. I use sacred geometry principles to make my pieces more than just pretty; they make people think about deeper ideas and connections in the world. My art looks simple, but it’s meant to make people feel something special and think.
What makes you create? Where do your ideas come from?
For me, creation is more than a pursuit—it’s a profoundly mindful experience unfolding through meticulous stages. Precision and attention to detail are not just elements of my process; they’re its very essence. The rich tapestry of sacred geometry inspires me. It is a universal language, resonates across cultures and epochs, and fuels my artistic expression, guiding my hands as I craft each piece.
In my workshop, I use sacred geometry ideas to guide me as I create things. I want to take these ancient ideas and make them into something you can see and touch. Each thing I make isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling a connection to the beauty of shapes. When I work, I’m trying to show the harmony hidden in sacred geometry. Every piece I make is unique because it shows sacred geometry’s complicated and simple sides.
What inspired you to be an artist?
I was drawn to art because I was fascinated by sacred art and the golden ratio. Exploring these ideas opened up a whole new world of inspiration for me. As I learned more about sacred geometry, I was amazed by how maths and spirituality came together meaningfully.
I also got really into woodworking. Every piece of wood I worked with, every bit of string art I did, became a way for me to show the beauty and balance of sacred principles. This mix of arts and crafts became more than just a job for me. It became a passion. It’s a way to blend tradition with new ideas and make art that speaks to the mind and the heart.
What Projects have you worked on?
I’ve been lucky to work on cool projects that let me share my art with more people. One big one was featured in the “Border Artbook” in 2021. That allowed me to show off how I mix sacred art and the golden ratio in my work. I also got to show my stuff in Venice that same year, and people liked how I blended 3D geometry with simple string art.
Another cool thing was when my art made it onto the front cover of Artmajeur.com in 2021. That helped more people see and appreciate what I do. These projects aren’t just about making cool stuff; they’re about pushing myself to improve and try new things. Each piece I make combines careful craftsmanship and inspiration from sacred geometry. My work amazes and curiously intrigues people. I’m thankful for everyone who supports and cheers me on as I explore new ideas in my art.
What events have you joined?
I’ve been lucky to participate in lots of different exhibitions and projects where I could show off my art and meet other artists and fans. One cool thing was being part of the Mathematical Art Galleries 2019 Bridge. I got to team up with the talented artist David Press, and we mixed math with art to create something really special. People loved seeing how we played with shapes and patterns.
I’ve also participated in other art shows, where I shared the spotlight with other talented artists. These events weren’t just about showing my work; they were about connecting with other creative people and sharing ideas. It’s been a great way for me to talk about my love for string art and sacred geometry, and I’ve learned a lot from seeing what other artists do, too.
How does your workshop help you make art?
My workshop is like a unique world where I can let my creativity flow. Everything is set up to help me make the best art possible. When you step inside, you’ll see me working with wood, turning it into beautiful pieces. I’ve spent a lot of time there practicing and learning new things. It’s where I try new ideas and improve my art.
Want to see what I’ve made? You can check out my online shop at https://www.artwork-e-v.com/shop. Each piece I’ve made shows off the care and skill I put into my work. They’re just waiting for someone who loves art as much as I do to take them home.
Where do you get your ideas from?
I find inspiration in the beauty of shapes; each line and curve has a story of balance and beauty. When I dive into sacred geometry, I see more than just pretty patterns; I see the basic rules that tick the universe. These ideas have been around for ages and help guide me as I make art.
I also get inspired by other artists who’ve made their mark on the art world. People like David Press, who mixes maths with art in incredible ways, or Steve Garrison, whose spirals are so graceful. Then there’s Asaf Zakay, who makes glass art that’s both pretty and practical, and Michael Wieth, who explores geometry through string art like I do. Their different styles and ideas push me to try new things and see the world differently.
What future projects excite you? How can people support you?
I’m excited to continue exploring new methods and techniques in string art and sacred geometry. People can support my work by visiting my shop, purchasing my pieces, and sharing my work with others who might appreciate it.
What advice do you have for new artists?
For new artists, I suggest staying curious and dedicated. Being creative takes patience and precision. Embrace each stage with mindfulness and attention to detail.
What challenges do you face as an artist?
One of the main challenges I face is the meticulous nature of my work, which demands a high level of precision and attention to detail. Additionally, balancing the creative process with the business aspects of being an artist can take time and effort.
Do you use computers or gadgets for your art?
While my work is predominantly handmade, I use computers to design and plan my pieces. Technology helps me see the shapes and patterns. I see them before I start making them.
How do you connect with your audience?
I connect with my audience through many platforms. These include Artmajeur, Behance, Saatchi Art, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, and Etsy. These platforms allow me to showcase my work, share my creative process, and engage with art enthusiasts worldwide. Follow me on my social media using the below links.
