After experiencing a deep transformation in my work, I’m going to be making changes in the way I communicate with my audience and I explain it all in an honest, open letter to my private collectors that I’ve wanted to make public because it affects not only my collectors but also the rest of my readers, so grab a cup of your favorite warm drink and take your time to read it.

I think I’ve never properly introduced you to my printmaking press before, have I? How inconsiderate of me. This second-hand press has a lot of…

Let me talk about art and perfectionism. Achieving a “rounded” piece involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Many studio proofs, lots of trial-and-error, and countless wasted materials until I finally get to that sweet spot where I feel ‘this is it’. I think the hardest thing for an artist is…

People tend to believe that every time an artist creates an artwork, something new is created. Nein. Art mimics Evolution. Good Art is always repurposing, reinventing, revisiting, turning the established rules upside down. And then again. Until you’ve turned a concept around so much that…

Today’s set of tools.

Tools are ultimately unnecessary. I could paint with my fingers. I often do. I could use coffee instead of ink. Wine. Beets. Cherries. Mud, if I was only left with that.

This strong urge to create.

See, I’ve been avoiding this scream inside me for the past 8 months. I buried this craving under…

After several “total disconnection weeks”, courtesy of a broken -literally- phone, and no internet connection, I’m back with some studio news.
August has been extremely creative both in terms of artistic explorations and human relations/networking/connections, the latest being a concept us artists historically suck at.

People often talk about, or wonder, how to cultivate creativity. But that perspective is just wrong. You don’t cultivate creativity. You’re a flower in her garden, and she’ll harvest the hell out of you if you’re brave enough to become fertile soil. If anything, you invoke her, and it’s a ritual. Wanna know what it takes?

What is art? Or should I ask what the f* is art? This might be one of the most controversial questions of all times. It’s so controversial that people are even scared to ask. I’m glad you asked though, cuz I’m not scared to answer.

Gray has a bad reputation. It sounds boring, disappointing. However, it’s of my favorite colors. But why? I’m here to pledge for gray and clean its name…
