I think that since the 6 years old.

Art is an intellectual production exquisite, where emotions are embedded in the context of creation, but in art history, we see that many artists are derived from other, following technical and artistic movements through time, you own any model or influence of any artist? Who would be?

I have several niches of Arts. I love the happy part of Matisse, the colors of Kandinsky, the forms of Picasso, Miró and the outline of Romero Britto. Romero Britto, certainly helped me out of a moment of sadness and that's why I see myself painting and selling. I know it's a commercial art, but I love the power to find that he is so. Have fun and I'm a fan. Because, selling isn't easy and sell as he sells, It's very admirable.
