Entrevista/Interview

DIGIART-01. What can you tell us about yourself and your background ?

I was born and raised in Mexico, i studied GRAPHIC DESIGN in the local University, and i;ve been working since i finish college doing Illustration and Graphic Design trying to grow as an artist

DIGIART-02. How would you describe your style ?

Very clean, Symetric and full with simbolism. The reminisces of Mucha.

DIGIART-03. What inspires you ?

Mostly Nature and the old concepts of woman beauty like the MUCHA portraits, the ambivalence in female nature how thay can be so powerful and delicate at the same time.

DIGIART-04. Your digital artworks often have a special style about them, what fascinates you about this style ?

I like the cleaness of the trace and the use of complementary colors, also because of my formation as a Gaphic Designer i have this tendency to put elements like simetry and the use of grids to make more organized, that are very used in GD.

DIGIART-05. What are your favorite digital and traditional mediums or software to work in, and why ?

Traditional media are the ones that let me sketck quickly, like pencils, markers, acrylics and spraycans. Digital i Love vectorial programs such as Illustrator, and also use photoshop cuz allows me to get better at my work.

DIGIART-06. Do you combine traditional and digital media in your work ? How and why ?

Yes because i draw sketches traditionaly like pencil and paper, but like 80% of my work are finish in a digital media, thats because the use i give to them.

DIGIART-07. Do you have a set workflow ? What is it and how does this benefit your work ?

Always start with a hand-drawing sketch, when i find a concept that i like i start using the computer to make it better, adding elements from diferent sketches that never make it as an illustration, i like this flow because it make me more faster in the composition and also alows me to not get stuck thinking over and over again about secundary elements.

DIGIART-08. How to be a good digital illustrator ? tell us some suggestions ?

Mostly keep working everyday, drawing, painting, designing doing the thing you love. Keep knocking doors weathers is a job, gallery or exposition putting your work out there.
