I use a traditional technique called marquetry. All my works are made entirely from domestic and exotic wood species.

For each artwork, I select veneers based on species, color, and grain direction. They are cut using a scalpel and scroll saw. Then, they are arranged and glued to a substrate using a vacuum press. After it sets, I sand and add varnish to enrich the natural colors and textures of the wood, safeguarding it against moisture and wear.
