"What
are these lines engraved in my sculptures?
"
'They
are the construction lines, the base of the creation,
bounding
the various focal points.
These
lines are engraved pursuing a continuous movement
of
shapes and contour,
creating
light and shadow, and giving dimension to the sculpture.
Tracing
their continuous movement gives the correct shape
and
position of each form.
These
same lines are the highlight of my most recent works."
