Art has always been a big part of my life. Since I was a child, I have been interested in drawing and painting. Although art was an important part of me, for various reasons I stopped doing it for many years. In the last couple of years I have taken up both painting and drawing again. There are many art forms and styles that inspire my work. Always been a fan of "Pop Culture" figures/characters. Here we are talking about incredibly famous people/artists/cartoons and several icons who have had a great influence in our culture. I like to recreate these characters but at the same time give a message to others through the painting. Mixing characters and words is key for me. Art forms and styles that inspire my work: abstract, lowbrow, pop art, graffiti, realism, semi-realism, surrealism, urban/street art, cartooning, sculptures, and more.
