I’m a draughtsman since the moment I can remember that I’m alive, and.... I still am.
Since 1992 I started as a cartoonist and illustrator. In the year of 1998 I began with painting my figures on canvas. I became a painter.
These works are impressions of the reality, pictures with feelings and lot of fantasy. I also play with different motives of lines.
Generally I use vivid and bright colours with heavy contours, as you can see in my paintings. It will remind you of cartoons, comix and graffiti. Simplistic figures which stimulates your imagination.
I produce mostly contrasting works, by which the works happen to be raw, shocking and plain. I’m happy when I can work with the size of a big wall.
In the mean time I do all kind of collaborations, making sound scapes and noise, starting small scale projects and do some illustrations for non profit organizations.
I’ve an independent music label “Sonrisa” and a T shirt label “Badskin shirts”.
