art on a more serious level?
a) When you do something and you like it you have to show it. It doesn’t
care in what level, you can start drawing in the streets, or doing
little exhibitions, and if you are lucky and the people like it the rest
of the projects just came to you.
q)How did you discover the particular style that you have?
a) It is part of an evolution. Day by day I can’t see that changes, but
when I look to my old scketchbooks I can realize this evolution.
With the past of the time I add new textures, colour palets, techniques
that helps to this evolution in the style. Anyway art is a living thing.
