I’ve always believed that art and design should walk hand in hand. My journey began as a kid, driven by a passion for comic books, video games, and a dream of one day drawing the X-Men. I explored watercolors and various traditional drawing and painting techniques, which laid the foundation for everything that followed. Over time, my work expanded to include illustrations for advertising campaigns, concept art, digital illustrations, character design, and more.

This is a collection of some of the work I create with all my heart and passion ♡

COMICS

Drawing superheroes is something I have done since I was 8 or 9 years old. I post a lot of these drawings on my Instagram account, where I show all the steps I take and also teach young artists.

FACES

The world is crowded, overflowing with people, with faces. On the metro, at a concert, in the chaos of a football match, they blend together into a single, shifting mass. You don’t see anyone in particular. Just movement. Just noise. Just faces—countless, fleeting, and faceless in their sameness.

There’s no story, no connection, no pause. Just the quiet weight of being surrounded, yet unseen. This series captures that sensation—not of knowing people, but of being lost among them. A study of the crowd where no one stands out, and everyone disappears.
