访谈内容: 1. What type of medium do you work with and explain how you use it? (Paint, design, photography, collage) When starting a new design, (no matter if it will end up in a T-Shirt, Vinyl on a wall or digital print), I sketch with pencils on paper. Mainly, though, I work with my computer, using vector and 3D software. Furthermore, I love investigating different mediums, let’s put painting, stencils, sculpture... 2. What was your main interest in producing this artwork, or is there a statement you wanted to convey? There’s no ultimate idea in my works. I just love doing it and I somehow can’t help it, but if you take a close look you’ll appreciate this funny & happy atmosphere I feel much close with and which I’d like to convey. 3. Tell us about your creative process, do you have any rituals, routines you follow? How does your artwork come together? (Do you use found objects, image banks, etc) I always take my time to think properly about any new concept or work. It’s almost a state of mind. Once I’ve got it, I develop the idea sketching with pencil until I find the right form. Then, by means of my computer, I finish the whole process. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve been searching and developing my own style, so in my opinion, it ends up coming together naturally. When doing illustrations, I keep the ones I like much for the type of form or detail, discarding others that I don’t like so much. So I’m still exploring and I think that it’s always going to be like that. 4. How did you get started with your artistic career? I think it’s after working loads that you can get to an interesting point. That’s why half a year ago it became my aim to make a brand new illustration every week. As the results improved, I got gradually stuck to it. 5. What would you say is one of your greatest accomplishments? Just a few months ago, I took part in an exhibition in Barcelona with five other European artists. The relationship with them was great and the exhibition space excellent. There I had a 3 x 10 meters wall and complete freedom. I designed a huge vinyl piece to stick on the wall with many of my characters. The result was amazing!. 6. Where does your inspiration come from? Or is there any particular movement, artwork or artist you find yourself influenced by? I’m fascinated by the Japanese culture, it has always been a referent in my work. I love his art and his anime and manga characters. I’m really keen on Takashi Murakami’s work; he’s one of my favorite artists. I also track the Designer Toys stuff since long ago, I like it a lot because It’s a mixture between design, painting, sculpture, converging in a really complex artwork. 7. How do you see yourself five years from now? How do you see your artwork evolving from now? My artwork is in a starting point. I am really excited because I think that I - as anybody working hard- can do really well, but I still don’t know where will it end up! I hope my skills to be improved in order to express myself in many mediums, and achieve my aims. Basically, I think it’s all about enjoying one’s work.
