In short I really donāt know what I said and I donāt know nothing about my aesthetic ahahah. My illustration are funny and grotesque at the same time, is not a casuality that Joan CornellĆ in one of my idol.3. What is your favourite medium and why?My favourite medium is the silence, that is not a medium (or maybe yes), so my real favourite medium is digital photografy (illustration, collageā¦).

What is your artistic process like?My artistic process doesnāt follow a canonic guideline.
