Interview

What is your favourite piece to date? The piece I just finished is always my favourite to date because I am still filled with the pleasure, the emotions, the energy I felt while creating it. I am still surprised that I have done this.

What’s in your near future?More illustrations to do with a various range of clients, plus a continuous collaboration with the current ones.

My number one tip is... Loosened up, let chance be part of your path.

My most wily method of getting new work is... Keeping my eyes and ears wide opened , everywhere I am ( Internet, socializing with new people at a dinner, reading all kinds of publications, at a party, etc..), to discover new possible clients.

Favourite thing?To create images, at the same time to collaborate with art directors and other artists.

Lies, lies and more damn lies. Discuss.If there are lies in my life they do not seems to reach me, not even collaterally.

Favourite dental procedure? Floss.

Before I die...I would like to travel around the world with my love, a long time. I have been travelling pretty much when I was young, but I didn’t knew her then.

My dream is...To continue dreaming and see some of those dreams come into reality. Fortunately I achieve some dreams sometimes, but it takes time. This is what I was talking about in a previous question about the “number one tip”. Loosened up let chance be part of your life. Dream on.

What is your background and art education?I am a self-taught artist. I always loved visual art, but also literature, cinema, etc., and still do.

I discovered collage after experimenting with other mediums and instantly fell in love with this kind of technique. It was fast,direct,very much unconscious and, of course, surprising.

This was very seducing and exciting, not to say very inspiring. Since then I experimented a lot, and then came along the computer, in a positive way.

Sprouts?In a sandwich with tomatoes they are delicious.

You would be mad not to...Make my style and art evolved. Dare to surprise myself and not be contrived in one simple idea people make of me as an artist.
