The concept of stage and costume design , is in my mind, primarily a visual interpretation of  drama, music, time and place of occurrences and is the result of a dialogue between the director, the stage designer, the costume designer, the lighting designer and occasionally also  the sound man and the choreographer.

What interests me personally in designing set or costumes for stage, is not constructing a visual world which is a  realistic imitation of the time and place of the play or the opera, or the music that was written, but the creation of a stage and costumes world which is a dramatic visual experience consisting of shape, light, color and the movement of the actors on the stage. An experience which is not necessarily subject to the time and place of the occurrences.

Thus, my style of  design, both of sets and costumes, consists and is influenced by a plethora of visual images , modern and classical which derive from the worlds  of painting, sculpture,  architecture, fashion, cinema, TV circus ect.

In choosing the materials, I blend everything and I am fond of combining expensive natural materials with cheap synthetic ones.

My work is very intuitive and is hardly ever conditioned by laws of what is and not ”right”.

Although I always begin by reading the text and listening to the music, I don’t always begin with preparatory sketch of an idea and occasionally, the particular fabric, or image, determine the entire direction of a specific production.

My works are characterized by an attempt to form a synthesis between past and present, new and old, modern and classical when my aim is to relate the result to the esthetics of our times.
