Working with an eclectic palette of marble, concrete, copper, and wood, dexterously merged together in rectangular inlays-cum-reliefs, his recent work hovers between abstraction and figuration.
“To me, my furniture is primarily art. An idea of mine may migrate from paintings to furniture, to ceramics, etc. but the message will remain the same regardless of the medium. I also don’t want to turn myartworkss into commodities so this is just a limited collection.”, said Emvy to Yatzer
