- What was your first contact with art? What made you want to become an artist?
My father was an art lover and made it his hobby. I saw him do it and I did it with him too. I was going to see exhibitions that would leave a lasting impression on me.

Besides, my best friend's mother was a painter. I bathed in his work daily. For me, being an artist was something normal from a very young age. With this friend, we walked a multitude of paths of creation and among other things, made many paintings with four hands.
But it was with comics that it all started. This is what prompted me to study Applied Arts from high school. Painting as such finds its trigger during the lessons of living models. Rather than working on this exercise in pencil, I quickly chose brushes and ink or paint. I was looking to transcribe the life of the body and not the representation of it. For short exposures, where you had to get to the point in no time, the color and living matter of these mediums was ideal for me.
From this discovery, I started a personal production.
