The sculptures were created based on observation and representation of the human figure. The artist searches for the 3D modelling of the human figure and its surface as a tool to understand its drawing in its pure essence. The execution stages of the pieces are shown below.
Woman Standing
 |
| After the drawing studies of the nude model, the central structure of the human figure was built in wire. |
 |
| The human figure was modeled in clay and slowly the general form took the particularities of a woman. |
 |
| The piece was prepared to receive a layer of an aqueous mixture of clay and plaster. |
 |
| After covered with pure plaster, the piece was left to dry. |
 |
| The piece was opened with chisel and hammer, washed, dried, prepared to be filled with plaster, and finally closed and left to dry. |
 |
| The final piece - sculpture - emerged carefully from inside out, after which it was fixed onto a plaster support. Rather than submit the piece to a further flatting, the artist chose to leave the piece as it is. |
