Illustration is capturing a snapshot, a point where everything comes together and where new events arise. It is a theater made up of different stages, filled with people and animals, sometimes socially critical, sometimes light-hearted, but always with a wink. My inspiration comes from the people around me, I just have to leave my studio and the world full of characters comes to me. Then it is only a matter of pouring the acquired impressions into an illustration. I usually work traditionally with acrylic paint, colored pencil or watercolor, but I am also not averse to the ease of use of digital media.
