1.-How would you define your work?
Nervous, empathetic and sincere.
2.-Who do you have as a reference or what do you use as inspiration?
Music, photography, video clips and especially cinema. The frames are my visual reference.
3.-What materials do you usually use for your works?
Watercolor and graphite for drawing, sometimes ink. To paint acrylic and sometimes oil.
4.-What do you ask of painting?
That the colors blend very well, I like to mix them in the work itself, a good texture and solidity. I'm more of a flat color.
5.-In your color palette, what is essential?
A good base skin color. All the others, I qualify them a lot. I rarely leave a color as it is, because I like to impregnate them all with a grayish hue.
