My training as a visual artist has tremendous influence over the way I approach shoemaking. This is obvious especially in my pattern making and closing of the uppers. Every line is treated with great care and becomes a part of a very coherent composition. My shoes are in this way visually appealing and always intriguing with surprising elements that fire the imagination. Some of these surprising elements of my shoes can be described as defying reality itself.
My artistic approach to shoemaking produces true wearable works of art. What defines my style is the search to give meaning to every detail without being over decorative. In the same time my shoes are wearable, therefore nothing is left to chance regarding the fit. I have trained himself in all elements of shoemaking. This is extremely rare if not unique and provides me with 100 % control over all aspects of shoe construction and design. In the end my clients have the privilege to wear a work of art. My shoes are wearable sculptures made in leather.
I am a shoe artist with an obsession: to create the perfect shoe. Obsession is always the path to excellence.
My CredO
Is to create create shoes with the greatest impact possible, visually and historically. It is important to me that my shoes are first of all interesting and not only beautiful objects. I wish my shoes to be worn into oblivion and back but never to be throw away. Memorable shoes that is my end goal. It is a waste of my time to end up with just another pair of shoes.
