►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.
