1. Who is your favorite Artist? (Art, books, games, etc.)

Although I deeply enjoy reading Lacan for his insights into the human psyche, I find myself at the same time entertained by Stephen King's horror stories, as well as texts on astronomy and quantum physics.


2. What was your personal motivation to work on art?

I've always felt a need to express my particular universe. It's like an incessant search to connect with others who share a similar universe or are intrigued by the same cosmos I glimpse.


3. What is the important part you would like to talk about through art work?

I seek at the same time to explore layers of human emotions, question the limits of our language, and establish criticisms of society beyond questioning the understanding of death. Often revealing the beauty in our vulnerabilities and the strength in our fears.


4. Tell us about your worldview to understand your work, and what methodology do you
use to capture it in your art?

I believe that art has the power to transcend boundaries, connecting us on a universal level. I think the creative process to capture the essence I seek is very particular, it's something that has been growing since the moment I became aware of my own creative processes. For me, it works like a conversation, regardless of the medium I'm working in or the tools I'm using, what changes is the time of settling and the maturation of a work. For example, this conversation I refer to starts with a color palette and some initial brush strokes on a blank canvas while issues/anguishes/ideas that surround my mind at that moment begin to become more constant than others. After a certain period, the brush strokes have matured and the palette has strengthened, and at the same time, the ideas also begin to find a definition for the work that is emerging. It's a simultaneous conversation between physical and mental, visual and abstract versus time. With digital works and artificial intelligence, it's the same thing.
