1. What's your story? Where are you from?

I was born in Valladolid, a city in the north of Spain. I studied Fine Arts and after some years working as graphic designer now I work as a freelance illustrator in Madrid. Life on mars_ David Bowie

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I focus my work on people, I like to imagine stories inspired by different characters. My work is colorful and expressive; it plays with a subtle sense of humor that highlights the fact that life should always be a little fun.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

I love drawing with makers on paper, it is easy, fast and I could do it wherever I am.

4. What is your artistic process like?

I do a lot of sketches in paper. Then I scan the best ones and continue giving colour and doing more details in Photoshop. I just have bought a Cintiq and I am delighted with it!

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

Traveling, urban tribes, flamenco music, tacky things…

6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?

I think in art not only what we see in museums, I think artistic people are who observe around them and reflect about what they see and do an interpretation. LA HATER

7. Where did you study?

I studied Fine Arts at Salamanca and completed my education in Kassel (Germany).

8. Where do you see yourself in five years? Working in an agency?

I am actually working in an agency from Spain called Pencil. I have been working with them for 2 years and It is very satisfying. In five years I see myself doing more wonderful editorial projects.

9. What about in ten?

I hope to continue doing illustration, painting and maybe doing sculpture or ceramics, which I also love. sinsal fest

10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?

It depends on the kind of work. A commission should talks with shapes and colours the client idea. Otherwise, when I draw personal stuff I do it for myself, like a way of necessary expression. Then people laugh, think or feel something similar than I felt while drawing and that's wonderful.
