How long have you been an artist? What is your specialty? Where do u find inspiration?
I draw since I was a little kid. I don’t know if I have a specialty…. I love all kind of styles and I’m still trying to find my own. I love doing realistic, neo traditional, makeup sfx, I like to think I do a little bit of everything. I find inspiration in other artist I admire and follow on the Instagram and also the things I see in the day by day.
Do you have a job in the art industry? If So, what’s one thing you don’t like about it? If no, where would your dream job be?
I don’t. (yet). Sometimes I work as a freelancer. Right now I think it’s kind of hard to get known, in the beginning, because you still don’t know many people in the area, and they don’t know you. I would love to be a tattoo artist in any studio. I heard Barcelona have some good ones.

It maybe a clichê, but I love Van Gogh.
