I adore illustration, the colours, my artworks are drawn using a digital pen on software 2d and 3d, but my principal tool is�my mind. I spent most of my time drawing, trying to represent my emotions, to express a part of me. I personalize and I distort the bodies with small lives and forms out of the reality, dream and sketch with strong colours, that complete my form of expression together with the forms. The bandaids, the wounds and the tears, at times present in my sketches, I am not anything else other than a metaphor of the sad events of the life and the man's instinct to cover, to disguise such wounds to the eyes of the world".
