I started working as a professional 5 years ago. A neverending passion turned into my job. I started as a comic colorist to then become a digital illustrator and character designer.

Hot tea
– Favorite place?
When asked this question, I rather think of a situation: me relaxing on my couch, my two cats napping on my legs, a steaming hot cup of tea in my hands and some Netflix series showing on the tv. Perfection.
– Favorite movie?
Too difficult to choose only one. I’m in love with z-movies and sci-fi in general…
– Advice to young artists:
Learn fundamentals, but be sure to find a pleasant way to face them: learning anatomy and perspective surely can be boring, but associating the exercise with a character of yours or a subject that inspires you will make everything better. Never consider yourself “arrived”. A good artist is never satisfied with themselves and always tries to improve. Be humble, listen to advice and critiques. Don’t be greedy. There’s no shortcut in learning how to create effective art. Take your time, don’t compare your results to others’ ones. Give your 100%
– Your strong side?:
My perseverance. I’m very patient and resist where many others give up.
– Behind strong side 😉
– Sports?
I go to the gym.
