Imagination is my process. I often start with reading and researching, mostly about contemporary subjects, human psychology, emotions and thoughts… Through questions I then explore and experiment how these current matters can possibly fit in different historical and cultural contexts.
As a theme, psychological suspense seems to cure most of my curiosity, though not all. I have produced work covering wide variety of topics, across advertising, publishing and design as well as in a more authorial capacity. At the end of the day, simply put, I just enjoy the process of drawing.
