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

I’m from Santiago, Chile. I was born in 1985. Drawing is my all time favorite hobby. I studied Fine Arts and then Design. I came to Barcelona, Spain when I was 30.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

My aesthetic came from searching shapes, i like simple lines and use fewer colors as possible on every illustrations. It all depends to each one, but most of the time, geometry and symmetry are keys to my work.

3. What is your favorite medium and why?

Right now i like digital illustration, because it fits me and give me satisfaction, but I want to be able to design bigger pieces with paper or other traditional techniques.

4. What is your artistic process like?

Most of the time is improvisation, using different colors and shapes till I get the composition that I’m looking for. That kind of magic can happen in a couple of hours or even days; it all depends of the moment I’m in.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

That would be the unconsciousness getaway i get into during my creative process, a uncertain process that gives me a lot of satisfaction once it’s done.

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

For me art is an unconscious process where I can find peace, something like a sacred place where I can live anytime, no matter the result at the end. I always start drawing without intention. Art let me see the world with empathy, allows me to understand every person’s passion for their work, I’m able to see art beyond this so called “artistic world”.

7. Where did you study?

I went to drawing lessons during my childhood and then i studied Fine Art and Design in Santiago, Chile.
