FROM WALLS TO SKIN
The first interaction with the tattoos was one on my own skin. The first tattoo made by someone else on me was followed by the first one I ever made, also on me.
At that time, graffiti was an important part of my life. Instead of an art school, there were years of graffiti, exhibitions and contests that led to the idea "I want to do art for a living". This is how I started my apprenticeship in tattooing, which, in addition to being a drawing, is patience, it is counseling, it is closeness and trust.
At this moment, drawing, in any form of it, is a constant of mine.
The inclination towards geometric, dot work or abstract is in a harmonious symbiosis with adaptability and constant learning of making a bridge between graffiti art and technical drawing (which I was doing and enjoyed in high-school).
People's beliefs, passions and desires are as different as they are fluctuating, and the artist's role is to orbit these inconveniences.
Tattooing on people's skin is one of the most personal art forms, and this bridge between the consumer and art, who is the tattoo artist, is beyond the concept of work, it is a way of life and making relationships on so many levels.
MY INSPIRATION & INFLUENCES
Often, salon colleagues are the biggest influence and inspiration. Over time, colleagues change, but their influence remains imprinted.
From drawings, with all its branches, to painting and often music or any form close to art, to urban landscapes or hard-to-reach routes, all these forms of manifesto influence the style of tattooing. Over all this will always come the vision and chemistry that you develop with the person in front of you, and here often comes the part that you do not anticipate, but you find in yourself, in a form often new.
MY EXPERIENCE
After an apprenticeship of about a year, which takes place in 2017, I managed to turn my attention predominantly to the style I approach today, respectively abstract / geometric / dotwork.
