VISUAL ARTS

I always say that art and design should walk together. I started doing art when I was a kid and this became my life. It all started with my passion for comic books and video games and my dream as a kid to draw the X-men. I was also into watercolors and some other traditional drawing and painting techniques. From that, I went to illustrations for advertising campaigns, concept art, digital illustrations, character design, and much more. Here's a collection of some stuff I do with all my heart and love. 

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.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Characters, backgrounds, comps, 3D renders, posters, watercolor illustrations.

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.
