First of all thank you for the opportunity to spread a little of my work.

As a child, I was always a poor student and what I wanted to do and was an artist. Always attracted my attention the murals and graffiti that I saw on the street. It was at the high school, with little pocket money, which could give me my parents I began my paint cans. For me, it was the perfect opportunity to unleash leave to play my artistic interests. Figure, since I saw the first video game covers and VHS includes movies, it's a world, the I love being able express things in a creative way, my vision and my personal touch is a challenge and do something really liked I always fascinating for me.

When I started to paint graffiti people I admire very differently than the interests that I have today, but there you in particular are BB´s, that I very much like and keeps the surprise me if he paints graffiti and as well as other kind of art or illustration: ATA Bandara (a TOAST). On the other hand, there are some others that have shaped my carrier in one way or another: Frank Frazzeta, Jim Murray, Simon Bisley, Adam Hughes, Alex Trochut, Stan Winston, Chiodo brothers... But it is impossible, say only a few names, because there are many more!

My style comes from science fiction films of the 80s and 90s and arcade games machines. When I was small, I lived on the second floor of a bar that ran my parents. The pub was placed between two video stores.

The treatment which they had with me was especially nice, because I was the owner BB´s son of the pub and we were neighbors, so spend I could spend hours looking at the movie covers and posters in two shops. Down on the same street, there was another customer my parent bb´s pub patrons were one of the biggest arcade game shop I've ever seen. On Saturday morning the owners come for breakfast and then I used to with him to his shop, where he me 20 free credits for the computer I go looking, always the same: SPACE INVADERS... Hehe. I could reach the controls hardly, and I had to use a Chair.

So I would say my style is dynamic and tells his meanings directly above each drawing, I consider myself more than Illustrator as an artist who wants to say something with hidden meanings for the not so obvious... sometimes my illustrations are aggressive and more evil, but it comes from the memories from my childhood.

I start thinking about the idea, then I will see if I can add or remove items to it concerning the composition or form dynamically. Sometimes it goes fast, but sometimes checks into something more complicated, some sketches and color before the final design must be prepared. I think that if the work of an artist is spontaneous as a musician, acoustic guitar an instrument is that you can play anywhere, no restrictions, and it is in those moments when you see really the depth of the artist, when it comes, express, the resources in other jobs and know-how to the mixing of the different techniques and media, are visible.

I believe that an artist like fighter expert in many different martial arts (but always faithful, for themselves) to know various tasks handling when creating, know what is important to learn is important, but what is difficult is needed at the particular time, but at the same time this knowledge to apply the personal touch.

I would like to not know, specifically changed the points of my career, I could say that the daily trouble makes you grow as an artist and gradually that stand out from the rest. If I have to talk about my own career, I can only say that it not just as I had always my artistic side with work with no connection to art, was to survive to combine. And still difficult and sometimes daunting, but as I said, it's a journey where you will learn and constantly develop, if you work hard to finally get an own place sooner or later.

I try to complete weekly training objectives is on time with customers and dead lines and my own goals to meet. One of my hobbies is to make music (musical production) but lately I haven ´ t done much and the free time I little I can to paint, go out normally with other friends. I also love the time with my 4 cats :)

It is true, more and more interest in this medium people, thanks to the Internet, people can see, had everything that happens in real time and not like before it was something taboo, and only a minority the Chace, to exercise.

Aside from the very talented people, who always raise the bar and wide variety of styles. I like it be, so it means that many interesting things to come.
