What is so unique about your artworks?
I want to capture the story of my uncertainties and worries in such a way that gives the content and context of my style more universal than endemic art
How would you describe yourself? And your artwork?
I am a worried confusion.
my works are destructed by my sense, mind, experiences, and imagination at that time. This is not a perfect mental or physical circumstance, but it works to build a piece every time
What drives you?
My failures and frustrations
What is your definition of art?
it is very difficult to explain. I think we should talk about what is the art and what is not art
Where do you get your inspiration?
Poetry, a tragic event, personal failures and things I can not change or fix in real life
Where do you see your art going in ten years?
Observation, work, observation. Repeat
Can you tell us what you have going on right now?
I'm working on two different series, based on Fernando Pessoa and Sylvia Plath (figurative and abstract paintings) related to my developmental studies
I know my artwork is finished when…?
It is a desire but you never arrive to end, but you keep working until you cannot make any more changes
Which are your favorite artists?
Daniel Turner
One thing no one knows about you, but defines you a lot?
I’m a mind full of dreams with many impossible actualities
If you would be on your death bed what advice would you give to people?
Regular hard work is not the key to success (in the original definition we use in general)
