2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I am very passionate about shapes, saturated colors, and textures.

Soy un apasionado de las formas, los colores saturados y texturas.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

I like to just grab a pencil and draw, but I work on digital most of the time because it's faster and easy to fix mistakes. Thank you technology!

Me gusta simplemente agarrar un lápiz y dibujar en cualquier hoja, pero lo que más hago es trabajar en digital debido a la rapidez con la que puedes hacer las cosas. Gracias tecnología!

4. What is your artistic process like?

I don't really have a process, it really depends on my mood and what I have to do. I may start doing many sketches on traditional, or maybe on the first try, I do something I like. I like to focus on the silhouette and facial expression, it helps a lot to express the idea I have in my mind.

Once I have the final idea I start doing some color roughs on Photoshop until I like it and finish it.

Realmente no tengo un proceso fijo ya que depende mucho del mood en el que me encuentre y de lo que necesite hacer. Puede que empiece haciendo muchos sketches en tradicional, o al primer intento en digital dibujo algo que me guste. Me gusta mucho concentrarme en la pose y expresión facial, pues es ayuda mucho a transmitir la idea que tengo en mente.

Una vez que tengo lista la idea, hago exploración de color en Photoshop hasta que queda lo más armónico posible.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work?

I am inspired a lot by the people and things I see on the street, also movies and many artists I follow, it's amazing being able to see what other people's mind can create.

Me inspira mucho las personas y cosas que veo en la calle, también las películas y muchos artistas a los que sigo, es increíble ver lo que otros pueden crear.

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

It plays a huge role because it's my source of income, which is great cause' it's a fun way to pay rent and bills. It also helps me to express myself.

Juega un papel importante ya que es mi fuente de ingresos, lo cual es genial porque es una buena divertida de pagar la renta y a parte me ayuda a expresar lo que quiero.
