| One of the things that called our attention was the quality that you use in the details and also in the colors you use. What kind of materials and tools do you use tu develope your works? |
|
| To develope it I use traditional techniques such as watercolors, oils, markers, but always trying to create a mixture which may arise something different. |
|
| We see your works reflected in chairs, walls, t-shirts, slippers, phones, portable pc`s and recently you painted a giant vinyl toy live at the "expo of Bogota". Is it difficult to you to move from one medium to another? |
|
| No it isn't, becouse each technique requires a different management that depends only on the surface where I have to reflect my art. |
|
|
|
|
| How do the ideas born to create your characters? |
|
| I think that the ideas comes from the things I see in the everyday, in there ideas always arise, but I only can strengthen them when I'm alone and I really cans summing up everything I have seen, wich called my attention and others to begin the creation. |
|
| About the style of your illustrations. What are your influences to develope this kind of art? |
|
| What most really influenced me are the textures. I try to discover them on all surfaces, because all of them are a source of inspiration to me. An old house, the moisture in a wall, waste, garbage, the aging of the things and so on. |
|
| What artists do you admire and why? |
|
| I admire to all of them who belong to the "Low Brow", people like Mark Ryden, Gary Baseman, Bob Dob because all of them use the style that I always loved: the sarcasm. They use it in many ways in their works. |

| What keeps you motivated, what is the spark of your inspiration? |
|
| The passion definitely! I also likes a lot to learn and being always informed about what is emerging daily. |
|
| Do you listen music while you work? What kind of music is more effective at the time to make your creations? |
|
| Yes i do, i like experimental, electronic and instrumental music, this kind of music helps me out to immerse in to the environment that I'm creating. |

|
| Traditional or digital art? |
|
| I believe that it is necessary always to start from the traditional, but I like both types and I always try to combine them. |
|
| If you could bring to life some of your creations. Wich one will you choose? |
|
| Honestly I would not like to bring to life any of my characters because they are created through imagination and I prefer that they stay in their worlds. Where they were created. The good thing about this is that this characters are fictitious. if brought them to the real world they would no longer be the same. I like them more as an illustration. |

|
|
|
| What is the greatest satisfaction that illustration has given to you? |
|
| The illustration is the result of a process that offers you many ways. Is interesting to think in the expectations that how your illustration will end , the finished product is definitely my greatest satisfaction. |
|
| What do you do when you are not working? |
|
| My life is pretty normal, once in a while I go out for a walk or see other people's work, but im always on the expectation of all that I agree with my art. |

|
| How do you see yourself reflected in about 10 years? |
|
| I hope never lose the taste for learn and also I would like very much to work in any agency that goes according to my work. Never get away from art and be able to exhibit my personal creations. |
|
| What are you doing now? Can you tell us something about some new project that you have? |
|
| At this time my only project is to finish the university and beyond whatever comes. |
|
| Happiness is ... |
|
| I would say that happiness is like a goal that we all want to achieve but we never made it.Happiness doesn't exist. On the other hand believe that life always turns around it. |
