«I define myself as a craftsman from the soul, everything I can draw I will do. I am self-taught and I place myself within the expressive». «I always have logs handy in case something comes up. I do it out of a visceral need. I may not be with a brush in hand, but with a pencil or pen because my head never stops, there is always a trigger something that emerges that I have to put on paper, as a way of preserve it ».
