“And so it was that one day, a little door opened in my forehead, and everything began to come out\u2026 characters, stranger things, textures, and so on, all these fascinating things that had been captive in my head for years.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I\u2019m an Argentinian Italian self-taught illustrator living in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My relationship with drawing dates back to when I was 3 years old. Somehow, drawing was always behind everything I did. In 2005, I began to study at the School of Visual Arts of Bahia Blanca (ESAV) and I was also selected as an exhibitor at the National Art Biennial of the City Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC, Bahia Blanca, Argentina). This year I continued taking classes and actively participating in art events in my city: art fairs, photography exhibitions, etc. I was forced to drop out of art school in the same year, and with that began a long period of creative block that lasted about 13 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In 2017, I decided to move to Germany looking for a place where everything was new (people, language, places, etc.) and without any plan; one day I bought some sheets of paper and pencils, and I started again to draw, and here I am. My choice when I draw is to use ink, and pencil,\u00a0most of the time black and white. But also I enjoy and explore photography, mixing drawings with photos and digital art.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Drawing is a whole process; it is in permanent change, going through moments, ideas, etc. I could say that today my creative process, the act of drawing, begins, in most cases, with me sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper and drawing blindly. Many times I explain that what I do is simply a matter of opening a small door in my forehead where all these characters\u2014that have been trapped in my head for years\u2014come out and push each other out and turn onto the paper, without order, without meaning, just for the sake of searching for freedom. Many times some people see my drawings and ask me, Why do they have big eyes? What is the reason for these drawings? What does this all mean? Why only in black and white and not in color? And I could say, that is precisely what I like about my drawings, the fact that you stare for a while, that the person who looks at them tries to give it their own meaning, that the person who admires the drawing realizes that they\u2019ve spent a while in front of the picture loosing himself in the characters and imagining what is happening, and become part of it, because the observer completes the drawing by giving it his own meaning, that works for me, because I did something that make the person who observe the drawing ask himself things, enjoy himself at the same time and escape.<\/div>\n
