I come from Venezuela. Everything started with me painting seashells when I was about 5 years old. It was my first love encounter with colours and art. I grew upp copying comics, and I was very good at that. I could even sell some paintings at the sg
chool!
When teenager I was interested in studying Design but for life issues I didn't. I kept doing art works for friends and cultural movements and projects, such as Banners, Murals, Posters, etc. I almost didn’t do any documentation of my art as I never considered it as my career.
Some 3 years ago started a big interest in aquarell and hand lettering and I started to practice for fun. Later I discovered that with my short experience but big interest and artistic sensitivity I could in fact share and inspire others to paint and express. I have been holding study circles in these techniques with young and grown up people. I have also driven very inspiring, fun and exciting workshops in creativity! In the last months I have been introduced by a good friend to Graphic Design and I am very excited to start my first course in Sketching!
With the course I expect to flow more freely in the drawing, to find new lines, contours and perspectives. To get the push to sketch anytime and anywhere! I also want to get some inspiration and new ideas on how to use watercolours in a more chaotic and exciting way!
I want to get techniques from an expert and passionate artist.And I want to get in the habit of holding a sketching book! Maybe also to relax and start to share in a community my art and consider the possibility of working with my art as a career.

About my favorite materials, I like watercolour the most but I am very curious about Guache! I want to start to include more ink in my painting too. About motives, I love children's illustration, kind of naive art. It inspires me mandals, nature, geometries, fruits, art with wisdom messages and mysticism.

I love colours, they are a very important aspect of life for me. I have for exemple discovered that using bright and fun combinations of colours in my outfit helps my creative mood.
