1.Can you talk to us about your art? How does inspiration for your works come about? What materials do you use? How do you choose the subjects to portray?

I am a visual artist, I design, paint on canvas and make sculptures with paper maché. My inspiration comes from different references. Observing nature and thinking the huge possibilities of fusions we can have is my priority. I use the animal species and mix them creating a new possibility and form which is part of the bestiary from this new imaginary world. The name I give to each sculpture is a combination of their scientific name. At the moment I make the sculptures with paper machè pulp and I paint them with acrylic colors.

2.Where we can see your works?

At the moment I am exhibiting and selling my sculptures in 2 small galleries in Berlin and one in Amsterdam. In November 2019 I will have a collective exhibition in Göttingen, Germany.

3.In the past you worked as an illustrator for children’s books. Do you think this affects your creative flow?

I worked for many year doing illustrations for children’s books and definitely my current work is a continuation. I am taking my designs in another dimension. Seeing my draws in 3d is amazing. We all have our inner child inside and my sculptures make that people feel happy and joy when they see them.

4.Do you like to experiments in your works? When you make a work, do you already have the project clear in your mind or does it evolve during creation?

I do like to experiment with different materials. The amazing about paper maché is that it can easily be mixed with different mediums like wire, glass or wood . When I start a piece I have a basic idea from design and color pallet which I draw in a paper but I am always open for improvisation if is necessary.

5.What was your greatest job satisfaction?

my greatest job satisfaction is still not being done. Hopefully soon

6.If you could enter a picture in which you would like to enter? Why?

A picture where I would like to be is a big one with all close friends I love. Maybe one day It can be done

7.You live between Amsterdam and Berlin. What are the major similarities and differences between these 2 cities?

Amsterdam and Berlin are two amazing cities. in both cities the people are in general open for a new ideas. Moving in Amsterdam around the canals by bike and enjoying the beautiful scenery is a great experience and Berlin definitely is well know for the art and party scene.

8.Dream in the drawer?

my dream is always travelling around the world. Although I have been already in many countries there are still some which I would like to go.
