The short answer is that I am a self-taught artist. I’ve been drawing my entire life, literally since before I can remember. It was always something I enjoyed doing and invested a lot of time, which helped me to develop my skills gradually. Then the short answer about my style would be: “An eccentric personal-style in color, realistic and inspired by traditional painting but crazy in detail at the same time.” 𝑨 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 2019
It was a year full of projects and artistic challenges under the sign of the transcendence of my style. The project offers have not stopped and I finally finished 6 illustrated books despite the planning of a new career through All that. Not to mention that the development of my "new" style of drawing, specifically for children's books, who is becoming more precise. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒑𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 2020?
What a beautiful number? 2020 will be a year of achievement and direction. I planned less book release than 2019, but the projects will be titanic spans. I will have to reinvent myself by creating a crazy comic-strip while continuing a breakthrough of my style a little peculiar in the children's book. I will also be an artistic director on some other projects. But especially, this year will be one of decompartmentalization for me. I will put myself in a kind of danger. I'm doing a show. More than 30's school representations are planned so far. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏?
Doing more drawing improvisation exercises, this is something I never took the time to practice but I would like to be able to do. Check out
