“I first encountered drawing when I saw the teacher draw on the board in school, I was 5 or 6 years old. Before then, in my head, I always believed that the images in the books were made by machines. From that moment until today, I tell my personal story and of all humanity through my art, in my own way, with this particular style that I have made mine.
Man, as he appears to us, never reveals his deep nature to us, we must always go further to discover its complexity and sometimes its fragility.
These are my questions in the face of the duality that constitutes life in itself”
