What drives you to create?

It’s a passion that was born with me — maybe even before me. I’ve always felt a need to express and tell stories through images. Drawing has been the one constant in a life that’s always evolving.

What inspires you?

The real world and the imaginary one. A colour, a contrast, a film scene — even scrolling through a social media feed can spark something.

How do you bring your works to life?

I was born before the “digital age”, but I soon discovered the joy of drawing with a graphic tablet — and I fell in love with the endless possibilities it offers. I love exploring digital techniques that mimic watercolours, pastels, acrylics, textures, and more. I discovered digital art in 2004 and haven’t let go since.
