Illustrations — what I started with
a pen AND SOME COLOURS

It started with passion and amazement for that craft that let you create living things starting with a plain sheet of paper. The trigger was staying around my mother (who’s an artist) and watch her draw, paint, and sculpt. Now drawing also has a therapeutic role for me - I let the pencil do its thing without thinking too much; and the final result gives me pointers about how deep down I really face the events of my present life.

I usually draw using a simple pencil and watercolor. Then obviously finishing up with a Photoshop ‘cleanup’. I call them ‘cleanups’ as it’s when I can make them all slick and perfect.

Most of the illustrations below are available to purchase as prints in various sizes in the ‘Shop’ section coming soon.
